The St. Louis Blues are finally seeing the kind of player they wanted all along in Dmitrij Jaskin. The problem is that they are not seeing it in a Blues jersey. They are seeing the performance unfold on the international stage.
Jaskin has been a solid reason the Czech Republic is doing so well in the 2018 IIHF World Championships. Through five games played, they have nine points. The format is a bit odd, so a record of one win, three OT wins and one regulation loss has them at their point total.
Regardless of how they have come, the Czechs have four wins and sit in third in their group as of writing.
