Stop me if you’ve heard this one: the Blues are stuck in a battle for first in the Central Division. Previously, it was a back and forth with the Minnesota Wild. Before that, the Jets and Avalanche (who are only in 3rd by virtue of having played fewer games than most of the division) were right there. Now? The Nashville Predators are in the top spot.
The Dallas Stars, well, they’re in 6th, but like Colorado, they have only played 31 games to the Blues’ 35, and the Stars have nine fewer points.
