The St. Louis Blues are not going to be playing another game until October 24, when they face the Utah Mammoth for the last game of their four-game homestand. Around the league, there is a familiar face making his long-awaited NHL debut, and it might be a real kick in the behind for the Blues.
Colten Ellis, the third-round selection by the Blues back in 2019, made his NHL rookie lap and debut with the Buffalo Sabres. After being waived and surprisingly picked up by Buffalo, the Blues might have lost a very key part of their future, for no return at all.
