Over the course of the few games without Vladimir Tarasenko St. Louis Blues coach Craig Berube and Steve Ott have turned to Sammy Blais to start games on that top line. However, in-game switches have shown players Robert Thomas, Alex Steen, and Blais flip flop positions in the line-up.
Now from my perspective, Blais has at times looked great on the top line, but he hasn’t seemed to start games great. At the start of games he, like the Blues as a team, has looked out of place.
