St. Louis Blues' Turnaround Explained
New Year's Day doesn't feel that long ago, but for the St. Louis Blues, Jan. 1 is in the distant past. When the calendar turned to January, the Blues were at the bottom of the standings in the entire NHL. Now, just over 40 days later, they have clawed back to the first wild-card spot, and are just two points behind the Dallas Stars for third in the Central Division. That is a dramatic turnaround to occur in a month and a half, and a number of different factors have brought it about. Let's take a look at some of the biggest factors in the Blues' 2018-19 resurgence: Jordan Binnington Buoys the Blues The single most obvious factor in the Blues' turnaround is goaltender Jordan Binnington. He began the season as a backup netminder in the AHL, low in the organization's esteem despite...

Vladimir Tarasenko Is Back
The St. Louis Blues entered the weekend facing a home-and-away back-to-back series with their division rival, the Nashville Predators, a test that would tell them whether their recent resurgence was real or a mirage. They left Nashville on Sunday with four points in hand, a newfound confidence and the certainty that their superstar winger, Vladimir Tarasenko, was back in peak form. For a player who was at the center of serious trade rumors earlier in the season, the turnaround has been a much needed revival that has firmly re-entrenched him in the harts of the fans and, presumably, the plans of the front office. Tarasenko Dominates the Predators Make no mistake, the Blues would not have won these games without the efforts of Tarasenko. In Saturday's home game against Nashville, he...

Revisiting Doug Armstrong's Drafts - 2013
2013 was, simply put, not a good draft year for St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong's resume. They began the evening with no first round pick, having traded it to the Calgary Flames in the trade that brought in Jay Bouwmeester. They ended the evening with just four new players in the organization, none of whom would go on to make a significant impact with the team. For better draft years, check out the other entries in our series: 2010: Two stars arrive 2011: Second round success 2012: A diamond in the rough 2013: A year to forget Given the number of moving pieces involved and the dearth of actual picks, we'll focus more on pick movement in this installment. Without further ado, let's get started. First Round First Round Pick (#22): Calgary Flames Select...

Blues Prepare for Predators Double Feature
The St. Louis Blues are back in a playoff spot for the first time this season. In a turnaround that's gaining national attention, the Blues have gone 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and have won four in a row for the first time all season. Those good feelings will only carry them so far, though, as they prepare for a critical weekend series with the Nashville Predators. The Predators are just behind the Winnipeg Jets atop the division, and are 15 points ahead of St. Louis, with a record of 33-19-4. It will be a difficult test for the Blues, to be sure, but if they can perform well against the Predators, it should quell any lingering doubt that this turnaround isn't real. Here are a few of the critical storylines entering the weekend. How Will Allen Perform? The back-to-back games...
