Wednesday night was unkind to both St. Louis and Toronto, who each lost in unfavorable ways ahead of their match-up together Saturday night at Enterprise Center.
For the Blues, it was a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team they beat 5-2 at home just last week. In addition to that, it was a game in which they could tie the longest road point streak in franchise history after going 8-0-2 in their past 10 away games.
Following a goal scored by Teddy Blueger on the Penguins’ first shot of the game just 39 seconds into the first period, the Blues had to play catchup the rest of the night.
