You could be forgiven for being shocked at Monday evening’s win over the San Jose Sharks. Not because the Blues couldn’t beat them, or weren’t expected to, but because of how they beat them. The team’s 5-4 victory was the very definition of see-saw, Falling behind 2-0, they clawed back to tie it, fell behind 3-2, tied it again, went ahead, allowed the Sharks to tie it, and then finally won on Jordan Kyrou’s game winner in the third.
The Blues falling behind 2-0 to start, after losing 8-0 to the Colorado Avalanche last week, was not a good omen.
