ANAHEIM, Calif. — The St. Louis Blues achieved a pair of firsts Sunday night at Honda Center, both of which bode well for at least the immediate future and perhaps beyond.
For one, in their fourth try, they’ve finally swept a two-game series, dispatching the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 in a fan-free arena. As you may recall, they had won their first three series openers this season only to lose the second game each time — to Colorado (8-0), San Jose (2-1 in a shootout), and Los Angeles (6-3) if you’re scoring at home.
(They didn’t get a chance to win a series on Thursday in Vegas, with that game postponed because of COVID-19 issues among the Golden Knights.)
