For the first time in 16 days, the Blues are playing a team not named the Arizona Coyotes.
The West has been freed from COVID-19 protocols and are, for now, back in business. Tonight, the Blues begin a two-game series against the San Jose Sharks, who are 6-7-2 right now. That’s good for second to last in the West, but a bit of that is because they’ve been fallow for two games longer than the Blues. Luckily, the Blues are hosting the California teams in quick succession for the next three series, so that’s six games of possible points banking to make up for the Blues 3-3-1 record against Arizona.
