Tuesday night’s win against the Flyers wasn’t a foregone conclusion by any stretch of the imagination. The team’s clunker of a loss to the Montreal Canadiens last week should’ve been a wakeup call, and it mostly was, as far as the Blues beat the Flyers 4-1. It was a closer game than the final score showed, though - two of the goals were empty netters, and the Blues were uncharacteristically poor in the face off circle. Winning only 33% of your faceoffs isn’t usually a recipe for success, even against one of the Eastern Conference’s non-playoff teams.
