The St. Louis Blues’ Jake Walman is the new kid on the block, having just scored his first NHL goal on April 7 versus the Vegas Golden Knights at the Enterprise Center.
Walman’s first NHL goal couldn’t have come at a better time. The Blues were desperately looking to end a seven-game losing skid, and Wednesday’s 3-1 win was a game-changer. Blues goaltender and very own #50 Jordan Binnington stopped 50 shots, bringing the swagger back to St. Louis.
But there’s more to Walman than what meets the eyes.
Walman was drafted 82nd overall in the third round by the Blues in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
