EDMONTON, Alberta – About the last thing you expected when Torey Krug scored a first-period power play goal is that the goal would be the last – of the game.
After all, there was high-powered Edmonton with two of the best players in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. And the balanced Blues with eight players on their roster who scored 20 goals last season.
But that’s what we had Saturday afternoon at Rogers Place – at least until Justin Faulk’s empty-net goal with 62 seconds. The Blues have yet to lose this season after a 2-0 win over the Oilers. In fact, they’ve yet to trail.
