The St. Louis Blues have been a much more engaged, entertaining group since returning from the Olympic break. However, it started off pretty rough in their game against the Calgary Flames.
The Blues have been a little hit or miss in the first periods, but it was a big miss in this game. The Blues were shaky from the start and fell behind 1-0 in the first three minutes.
The first goal came after a turnover, and then Tyler Tucker compounded the situation with a poorly timed lunge to retrieve the puck. That allowed Connor Zary to drive in and scoop a backhander in for the first goal.
