The St. Louis Blues continue to be in there in most games, but were coming off a disappointing loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets over the weekend. They've struggled against the Nashville Predators, so plenty of fans figured this would be more of the same.
As is typical, the Blues always manage to surprise - sometimes in a good way and sometimes bad. This time it was good.
St. Louis got things off to a good start by scoring the first goal, which has actually been something they've done with consistency. Just before the five-minute mark, Jake Neighbours got a nice deflection on a tight-angle shot to make it 1-0.
