The Blues have scored 22 goals over 9 games, good for 14th overall in the league. To be blunt, they’re on track to repeat the same middle-of-the-pack goal scoring output that saw them shut out in two games in the Western Conference Final against San Jose. This isn’t to say that the Blues haven’t looked fantastic at times, or that we haven’t seen flashes of brilliance within these early games. All cylinders were firing when the Blues hung five goals on Chicago and six on Calgary, but the these performances don’t erase a string of lackluster performances.
In nine total games, the Blues have been held to a single goal in five of them.
