Last season ended earlier than Blues fans might have hoped going into game 7 of the playoffs. The Blues surrendered two goals at a 6-on-5 disadvantage to tie and eventually lose the game and the series to the Winnipeg Jets. Can the Blues overcome this clear weakness and become a stronger team next season?

Entering the third period of game 7 against the Winnipeg Jets, the Blues were up 3-1 with a chance to close out the series and extend their season into the second round of the playoffs.
