Statistically speaking, the St. Louis Blues have three of the best defensive players in the game. At this point, the trio are all veterans.
All three rank in the top 15 of defensive point shares. Overall, the Blues have given up the fifth least amount of goals (72) in more games played than the other four. That is in no small part because of the three guys we’ll discuss.
While the Blues may give up a lot of weak shot chances (currently ranked 22nd), their 5-on-5 save percentage is third-best at .927. That’s because of the defensive prowess of the Blues’ defensive core.
