The first matchup against the Blues didn’t go well, and sometimes you can chalk it up to “it happens.” But tonight, there was a rematch a week later on Saturday night in St. Louis, and how they followed it up is noteworthy.
In the first period, it appeared to be a good effort, but things unraveled in the second period, and the team didn’t play a particularly strong third period. They did have a chance to tie the game against a St. Louis team that was missing its best player in Robert Thomas and was down to five defensemen after Phillip Broberg left in the second period with an injury, but the end result was a 4-2 loss.
