The St. Louis Blues are turning things around.
After missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2011, the Blues made their triumphant return to the postseason in 2025. We won't talk about how it ended, but the first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets gave some younger Blues players a bit of key playoff experience -- and a taste for more.
The Blues have their work cut out for them in a tough Central Division, but they have a path to the playoffs if things go right for them. Perhaps that includes bringing back a key part of the 2019 Stanley Cup team.
