The St. Louis Blues carried a seven-game win streak into their Tuesday night matchup with the Arizona Coyotes. Most of those wins were gained on the road, so the Blues felt it important to keep the momentum going with some home cooking.
St. Louis actually got off to a rare good start. That is not to say the Blues always start poorly, but this was the first game in quite some time that the Blues got the first shot on goal and it did not take five minutes to get that shot either. These are small matters, but still a good habit to break.
