For whatever reason, the Blues have lacked energy and pop in two straight games on their western Canadian swing. While they did not look quite as lowly as they did in Calgary, the Blues were playing an even worse team in the Edmonton Oilers and got the same result.
The energy was a little bit better overall in Edmonton, but St. Louis just shot themselves in the foot way too many times in Alberta. The sad thing is it should have been expected. Right from the get go, the Blues gave two breakaways to Connor McDavid and only some strong saves by Jake Allen kept the game scoreless.
