A few weeks ago when St. Louis Blues fans looked at the schedule after the All-Star break, they probably shrugged and thought it would likely be a couple wins right off the bat. That might end up being the case, but it no longer looks like a breeze as it might have before.
In fact, things have turned on their heads. With the last few remaining games prior to the break, while the Blues were getting a few extra days of rest, the Vancouver Canucks surged up the standings.
The Canucks are now in first place in the Pacific Division.
