The St. Louis Blues find themselves in an odd situation as they enter the stretch run before the holiday season. They are on the brink of getting players back to full health, but that may prove to be a double-edged sword.
For the better part of a month, the Blues have been without the services of a third of their starting 12 forwards from the beginning of the season. In the last week, the Blues have been without almost half those players given the injury to Zach Sanford compounding things.
However, Oskar Sundqvist just returned and Alex Steen is on the cusp of returning.
