So much for the theory that the Blues’ loss to the Arizona Coyotes last week was the catalyst that would jumpstart their play. Not only did the Blues not build on their win over the San Jose Sharks, they went in the absolute different direction. They allowed a power play goal to Ryan Suter, who is busy proving himself after being dumped by the Minnesota Wild this summer. They then allowed two shorthanded goals to Roope Hintz.
The only Blues player who built on their strong play from Thursday night was Brandon Saad, who netted another power play goal.
