As the St. Louis Blues ride a wave of momentum into the final game of 2019, they have a rather odd opponent standing in their way. The Arizona Coyotes stand before them as a rather interesting road block.
On name value alone, the Blues should be able to wipe the ice with the Coyotes. These are the Stanley Cup champions after all.
St. Louis is riding an eight-game win streak into the desert. The Coyotes are a franchise that has been in free fall or limbo for most of the decade. Easy pickin’s right?
Unfortunately, that is not the case.
