The last two games have been less than ideal for the Blues. Outscored 12-4 against one of the league’s worst and then one of the league’s best teams, the team has slipped into fourth place in the Central, five points behind the Minnesota Wild for second place.
It wasn’t long ago that the Blues were as firm of a lock for home ice advantage as you could be in the Central, but going 3-4-3 in your last ten games isn’t how to do it. Vancouver’s 4-3-3 record in their last ten is much more ideal, even though they’re still sitting outside of the playoff bubble.
