ST. LOUIS — The Blues have made it to the finish line, all 56 games. And that certainly didn’t seem likely back in January, February and even March, when all kinds of games were postponed for all sorts of reasons – mainly COVID-19 related.
But the regular season is history following Thursday’s 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild at Enterprise Center.
Now the real race begins. The Blues will have a running start into the postseason, having finished with a flourish. So much for that grueling closing stretch of 13 games in 22 days to finish the regular season, with 10 of the 13 coming against playoff teams.
