Though the St. Louis Blues have had a disappointing season and seem poised to miss the playoffs, there is one thing they can be proud of: ending the Tampa Bay Lightning's winning streak. Before that win, they'd managed to shutout the Metropolitan Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes, as well. Beating two good teams back-to-back could give the Blues some juice to close the distance on a wildcard spot, and this week serves up two winnable games and an opponent who's hit a rough patch. Finishing the week with six points could put the Blues right back in the playoff conversation--they just have to go out and get it done.
