Blues at Canucks probable lines: Three in a row for Husso
Photo by Dave Sandford/NHLI via Buchnevich has to sit due to Canadian Covid-19 restrictions. As mentioned in today’s preview, Pavel Buchnevich has to sit out tonight’s game against the Canucks due to Canada’s 10-day wait from your last positive test before a person can enter the country. That means an opportunity for Logan Brown, who is back in tonight, on the third line with Ivan Barbashev and Vladimir Tarasenko. Not the same kind of momentum-generating machine there, but still, Brown has been playing very well in his time with the team this season. Overall,...

Blues at Canucks preview: Buchnevich sits one more game
Photo by Jeff Vinnick/ Blame Canada(ian Covid-19 restrictions). It’s incredibly tough to believe that the Blues haven’t played the Vancouver Canucks since the 2020 playoff bubble, but to be frank, the less said about that experience the better.

Despite what looked like a briefly decent start, they’re tanking another season of Quinn Hughes as a rebuild (?) continues. They sit just above Friday night’s opponents, the Seattle Kraken, in the Pacific Division....

Why the Blues should trade Marco Scandella
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports My thoughts on the Blues defenseman have changed. I must admit that I was fine with St. Louis Blues defenseman Marco Scandella at the start of the 2021-22 NHL season. But now, I have my doubts about Scandella. And no, I’m not a Scandella hater or anything of the sort; I’m just sharing how I feel. Earlier this week, I talked to a Blues fan friend about Scandella. I asked her why some Blues fans hate him so much. This was what she told me. “His poor defensive performance is all it takes.” “However, he has been playing well since...

Blues at Kraken preview: Buchnevich is back
Photo by Scott Rovak/NHLI via The Blues can make up ground on the Preds with a win tonight. The Seattle Kraken are riding a two game win streak, and the Blues might be the team to break it. For the first time in a while. they’re truly operating at full strength. Even short Pavel Buchnevich, the Blues lit up the Predators for four unanswered goals on Monday night. It was a career game for Ivan Barbashev, who finished with four points, and the line of Barbashev, Brayden Schenn, and Ryan O’Reilly combined for eleven points on the night.
