The St. Louis Blues are not having a polar opposite start to the 2019-20 to that of 2018-19, but it is pretty close. With the exception of a few days here or there, the Blues have been tops in the Central Division from the get go and also topped the Western Conference a good deal of the year too.
You cannot have a good start without good players. The Blues have plenty of good players and plenty who are having fantastic seasons.
David Perron and Brayden Schenn both lead the team with 15 goals through 36 games.
