On paper, the Blues should have walked away with at least a point from their second matchup in four days against Edmonton. The Blues fired 38 shots at a backup goalie, were the more physical team, and successfully killed all three power plays. Despite this, the Blues came up short in a 3-1 loss.
The Blues started sluggish and gave up an early goal. Six minutes into the first period, Jesse Puljujarvi deflected a shot from Darnell Nurse to beat Jordan Binnington. While the Blues would settle into the game as it went on, so would Edmonton’s backup netminder, Stuart Skinner.
