ST. LOUIS — Sometimes it’s not who you play, but when you play them.
On Saturday, the Blues caught Arizona playing the second game of a back-to-back and minus coveted defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who’s sitting things out for “trade-related” purposes these days. They won 6-5 in overtime.
On Tuesday, the Blues caught Florida playing the second game of a back-to-back and minus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky — who has been red-hot lately but got the night off. They won 6-2.
