The St. Louis Blues came out very well against the New York Islanders. It looked like they might be able to carry over all the good things they showed against the Washington Capitals in the previous game.
St. Louis looked pretty sharp and was solid defensively. It looked like it was all going to go swimmingly after the first period.
The Blues scored first four minutes in and then added another goal four minutes from the end. It should have been a quality start to build off of.
Instead, the Blues basically stayed in the locker room after that opening frame.
