ST. LOUIS — Two teams going nowhere this season. Both under .500 and in sixth place in their respective divisions. Oh, the drama.
Actually no. For the Blues, 0-3-0 and outscored 15-4 since the Ryan O’Reilly trade, Thursday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks was an attempt to regain their equilibrium.
“We’re trying to win hockey games. Bottom line,” coach Craig Berube said earlier in the week. “Yeah, we got a different lineup and we got players from the minors up here and things like that. But we still need to play a team game and keep working on our game. Gotta be highly competitive and you gotta work.
