The St. Louis Blues were hoping to have a big surge after the 2026 Olympics. While the first couple of games were a bit hit or miss, the team hit a stride immediately before and after the trade deadline.
Given who they gave away, you'd figure the Blues would be more on the downslide. Instead, they've hit somewhat of a groove.
St. Louis continued that against the Anaheim Ducks. The Blues were the better team overall and had plenty of chances in the first period.
St. Louis should have had a goal or two, but their former teammate Ville Husso was keeping them off the board.
