Goaltending versus goal-scoring, what is the bigger concern?
St. Louis Blues v Florida Panthers | Eliot J. Schechter/GettyImagesThe St. Louis Blues have quite a few failures attached to them this season. Looking at the standings, this team has allowed the most goals in the NHL with 132, and has only scored 95 goals on the year, which places them in 30th of 32 teams.
That is the biggest goal differential in the NHL at -36. With that information, you can put two-and-two together that those two areas are plaguing this team.
Looking at the mid-way point of the 2025-26 season, and onto the rest of the year, what is a bigger concern? The goaltending, or scoring?
