WASHINGTON – Before at least some of the Blues went to sleep Monday night, they found themselves out of second place in the Central, and all the way into the fourth spot – a wild-card spot – in the division.
That’s because Minnesota and Nashville both won to move ahead of St. Louis. This time of year, things can happen fast.
“It’s been tight all year,” coach Craig Berube said. “You wake up one morning and you’re in a wild-card (spot) – that’s the way it goes. We gotta keep winning games. That’s what it tells you. That’s it.”
