It is not oftern to say that a team was fantastic in a losing effort. On Saturday night, on the road in Ohio, the St. Louis Blues were just that in their 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The losing streak slides to seven, but there was a small glimmer of hope that this team is finally starting to get it together. The offense was there with their highest shot total on the year, the goaltending was superb compared to the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, but the defense was still shaky at best.
Let's gather some information on what happened in this wild game, and see what we can take away from it.
