Game three of the first round series between the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues sees the Blues return home after a split on the road. That’s exactly what the Blues needed to do - though winning both would’ve been preferable - and it doesn’t matter if Wednesday night’s loss was the 6-2 defeat that happened or a 2-1 tight game. A loss is a loss - in the playoffs you evaluate, you re-group, and you move on to the next game.
The Blues may be moving on to tonight’s game short three key defensemen.
