“There is no way the St. Louis Blues will make the playoffs; they are out of it.”

Even though it’s not 2019, the Blues are still trying to qualify for the postseason this year.

St. Louis, which currently holds the second Wild Card place in the Western Conference, is fourth in the Central Division after being undefeated for five straight games. Yes, they are engaged in combat.

The Vancouver Canucks, Seattle Kraken, and Los Angeles Kings—a team they are also fighting for postseason positioning—have all been defeated in overtime by the Blues, who have one game remaining before the All-Star break. These results demonstrate that the team is capable of rising to the occasion.

With just over a month before the Trade Deadline, St. Louis still has a chance to shape their own future even though there is still a lot of hockey left to play—34 games to be exact.

The prospects of the Blues making the playoffs are examined by Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk on Tuesday’s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE.
