For the second time in three years, the St. Louis Blues will play the Minnesota Wild in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Mike Yeo, who has led the Blues to a 22-8-2 record since taking over as head coach, will face a team in the opening series he previously coached from 2011 to 2016.
While St. Louis finished with the lowest amount of points in an 82-game season during the franchise’s six-year playoff bid, it has been a whirlwind campaign to say the least. The heights have stretched beyond the team’s first Winter Classic appearance and 50th year anniversary festivities.
