The Blues have a lot to build on from Tuesday night’s 4-3 shootout win against these same Lightning, but there’s also a lot of pressure on Ville Husso.

Charlie Lindgren? Who the Blues recalled from Springfield? Yeah, he’s not technically recalled yet.
Since the NHL refuses to make any salary cap accommodations for players placed on the NHL’s Covid-19 protocol list, the Blues find themselves in a similar position to the one that they found themselves in a few weeks ago. With no space for call-ups, the Blues are going to have to do cap and lineup jujitsu until injured players return.
