The Blues may not have played on Monday night, but that’s fine. Thanks to a win by tonight’s opponent over the Arizona Coyotes, the Blues are a point up on the Yotes with two games in hand. Anaheim’s 4-0 drubbing of the Sharks also helped add a bit of space there - San Jose’s four points back right now and on a two game losing streak.
The Blues are in charge of where they want to finish this season. They’re seven behind Minnesota, but can catch up to them with wins - they still have five games remaining against the Wild.
