Just when it started looking like the Blues were ready to move on up to the big boys table, reality brings them crashing down to 11th in the Western Conference.
One month ago, they were tied for first with the Kings, with twenty points in twelve games and only one regulation defeat. Between the pipes, Jaroslav Halak held a pretty decent 8-1-1 record with a 1.42 GAA, .944 save percentage and three shutouts in just 10 appearances.
Although they were lacking in style points, they were scoring just enough to keep them on top and were consistent in play. So, how does a team that was seeded first in the league at one point end up scraping the bottom of the barrel in a matter of less than a month?
