The St. Louis Blues are 2-0 on the young NHL season. They’ve had some good surprises, but the way they have won those two games was not really a surprise.
The team looks exactly as it was advertised. They are faster, more in control of the puck (most times) and a more dynamic team.
Included in all of that is Nail Yakupov. So far, and yes it is an incredibly small sample size, he has been everything the Blues hoped for and nothing they feared.
What has been so impressive about the Blues through their first two wins is the team play.
