Coming off their offensively overcharged win against the San Jose Sharks, the St. Louis Blues were hoping to build some momentum and, perhaps, get a winning streak going. The Anaheim Ducks did not want to be gracious hosts.
The Blues had a slow start, in the grand scheme of things. They did not play poorly or lack energy, but they did not impose their will either.
St. Louis got the first handful of shots, but surrendered the first goal. Admittedly, it was a soft goal, scored below the faceoff dot, over the glove hand.
