  • Summary

  • Ethan Hannaford and Mike Meyer broke down the Blues' 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings, highlighting the resilience of the team despite key absences. Key Takeaways: Overcoming Adversity: The Blues played without key defensemen Colton Pareko and Cam Fowler, yet managed to battle their way to a crucial point. Defensive Commitment: The team blocked 23 shots, showcasing their willingness to sacrifice for a win. Joel Hofer’s Strong Finish: After a shaky start, the young goalie turned in a solid performance, making several clutch saves in the latter half of the game. Offensive Struggles: Despite a strong defensive showing, the Blues lacked sustained offensive pressure and failed to capitalize on early power-play opportunities. Overtime Mistake: A costly turnover in OT led to Quinton Byfield’s game-winning goal for LA. Standings & Playoff Push: The Blues remain in the mix for a wildcard spot but face an uphill battle with teams like Vancouver and Calgary having games in hand. They need to take advantage of a relatively easier remaining schedule to stay in the hunt. Trade Deadline Analysis: The Blues stayed quiet at the deadline, opting to keep their current roster intact. Meyer noted that GM Doug Armstrong remains committed to making the playoffs rather than making drastic moves. Looking Ahead: The Blues have a four-day break before facing the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 13. With key players returning and a favorable schedule, this stretch will be critical in their playoff push. Overall, the hosts were impressed with the team's resilience but acknowledged that every point matters as they push for a postseason berth. Learn more about your ad choices.
