The Blues almost stopped the Pittsburgh Penguins’ league-high win streak at eight games, and if their game on Wednesday night would’ve ended after the second period, they would have. Unfortunately, games last a full sixty minutes, and the Blues were another notch on the Pens’ belt.
Luckily, the Blues treated that as a learning experience and absolutely steamrolled the Washington Capitals 5-1 on Friday night. Anchored by another impressive performance from Ville Husso, who is coming into his own this season, the team rode a two goal, one assist performance by Pavel Buchnevich to a victory.
