Nobody quite knew what to expect from the St. Louis Blues in their second to last game. With a playoff spot already locked up and a lackluster game against the L.A. Kings in their rearview mirror, it was a possibility to have another clunker.
A good performance was needed, however, because it was a chance to gain some momentum, positivity and a late test against a fellow playoff team. The Blues were inconsistent, but got a decent enough start.
St. Louis relied far too heavily on their goaltending, which is something they’ve done a lot in recent years.
