St. Louis Blues Takeaways From Their Loss To Chicago Blackhawks (6-2)

Once again, let us wish the very best of wishes and hope we get our wish fulfilled soonest! Dvorsky scored his inaugural NHL goal as a Top-10 selection in 2023 NHL Draft; at 7:30 of the second period. To make matters even more significant, we know he will begin this season playing for the Thunderbirds and playing key minutes for them throughout their campaign. At 19, 19-year-old Jordan White finally got on the scoresheet for Bluenote but his next step should be in American Hockey League (AHL).

Tonight wasn’t bad by any stretch but ultimately wasn’t enough for an NHL roster spot either; as is usually the case he will start in Springfield but should receive consideration as needed as an emergency call-up candidate. *P.O Joseph — Nothing special was achieved tonight, but I think he secured his position on this roster as seventh defender. Joseph did enough to earn this spot and fill coach Drew Bannister’s roster should Matthew Kessel struggle or require an extended rest period. Joseph proved adept at moving the puck while still contributing physicality when required, thus it would be surprising if anyone tried claiming him on waivers. * Scott Perunovich — Yes, Scott scored his inaugural pro goal at this level — it came via power play late in the third period with just 4:32 remaining on a slapper from straight away at 4:32 to end a scoreless game at home versus Ottawa; those watching his career may now ask themselves where has that goal been all these years.” * “He can add power play depth, but is that enough to earn him a roster spot when his defensive weaknesses are evident?This decision ultimately lies with whether the Blues keep eight defensemen or seven. If eight is chosen, I think he may make the cut as one of them and be placed on waivers otherwise.” * Tyler Tucker — It is time for Tyler Tucker to move on. Tucker has had ample chances and playing time to establish himself at 6-foot-1 204 pounds; they needed him to play physically but it has only happened at times. * Vadim Zherenko — We all knew Zherenko wasn’t going to make our team; that much was evident. Not much changed during training camp for Zherenko as far as trying to impress the Blues is concerned; rather he needs to impress Thunderbirds coaching staff while keeping tabs on surging Colten Ellis who continues his impressive play this preseason and showed no mercy against six goals on 22 shots from Saturday alone – his second time this preseason with goals against of.700 or greater for an entire game! Meanwhile Ellis was remarkable throughout camp; whenever he played it was phenomenal. Ellis could very likely become 2019 third round pick, who already seems likely due his impressive play vs compared with Zherenko who gave up six goals on 22 shots to Zherenko who gave up six goals on 22 shots from Saturday alone! Keep an eye out for this 24-year-old to join Jordan Binnington when/if he decides to switch teams and team with Joel Hofer; I wouldn’t be at all surprised. * Ultimately — I anticipate that the lineup Blues fans saw Thursday will likely face Kraken on Tuesday. Brandon Saad (maternity leave), Oskar Sundqvist (ACL injury) will no doubt shake things up, yet I wasn’t impressed by anyone in this group that would grab their jobs away from anyone else. Kasperi Kapanen took Bolduc’s spot while likely holding onto Saad until his return, other than that things played out fairly evenly.
