With the absence of Tyler Bozak, the Blues are going to have to make adjustments. With tonight’s opponent being the Pittsburgh Penguins, those adjustments are a bit more urgent than they might be otherwise.
At least if the Blues can win in regulation, they won’t have to deal with the Penguins adding to St. Louis’ abysmal 1-6 OTL record. Six extra points in the standings isn’t going to make the Blues catch the Avs, but it would be a nice cushion over the Predators, Wild, and Stars.
Much like the Blues, the Penguins suffered a loss on Tuesday - a 4-1 bounceback win for the Predators.
