ST. LOUIS — The Blues continue to have the toughest time turning a corner.
After they were in control for most of a 5-2 win over Washington on Tuesday, the Blues took on a Flyers’ team that was 27th in the NHL in points and had lost 13 in a row on the road, leaving them 0 for 2022. After seeing the blueprint for what they needed to do on Thursday, the Blues went off script and lost to the Flyers 5-2 before another sellout crowd at Enterprise Center that was able to head for the exits early.
It was the latest in a line of games where the Blues have struggled against teams at the bottom of the standings. Against the bottom six teams in the NHL standings as of Thursday, the Blues have lost to all of them once except for Seattle, which still has won more shot at them. These teams may be playing loose because they have nothing to play for but their jobs, but other teams seem to have figured out how to beat them.
