After stringing together two wins in a row against the San Jose Sharks, the Blues are still in fourth place in the West, and the Vegas Golden Knights continue to put distance between themselves and the rest of the pack. Right now, the Golden Knights sit three points over the second place Avalanche and six ahead of the Wild and Blues, who are in third and fourth place, respectively.
So yes, the Blues can make up some ground tonight and better position themselves to leapfrog the Wild on Thursday. The Blues are making up missed games against their opponents, and the next two are key teams to beat.
