ST. LOUIS — In the history of the NHL, there had never been a team win five straight games on the heels of a losing streak of eight games or more.
Until Thursday, that is. Wearing their yellow “reverse retro” jerseys, there was no reversing of the Blues’ winning streak. They defeated the Washington Capitals 5-4 in a shootout at Enterprise Center – and just like that – they have reached the .500 mark at 8-8-0 with their fifth consecutive victory.
The Moms’ trip, of course, is over. But most of the mothers returned from Chicago to St. Louis to watch their sons play Thursday, sitting in random seats – and not a box or suite. Most are staying for the remainder of the home stand, which includes successive home games against Anaheim on Saturday and Monday.
