2025-2026 Season Series: 1-1-0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the second time in just eight days, the Blues and Golden Knights face-off. For the first few years in the league, St. Louis dominated the series between the two clubs. St. Louis did not lose in regulation to Vegas in the first three years of their franchise. Since they are in the same conference but different divisions, this resulted in a total of nine games with the Blues going 5-0-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the anomaly that was the 2020-2021 regular season, the two teams played a resounding eight times. Vegas owns those bragging rights with a 4-2-2 record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The teams have also shared some key pieces of personnel over the last almost decade. Alex Pietrangelo<\/a>, captain of the St. Louis Blues during their 2019 Stanley Cup win (No, it was not Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/a>, like many even in St. Louis seem to think\u2026), was blindsided by the signing of Torey Krug<\/a> in the offseason, leaving no cap space for St. Louis. Vegas came along, offered a hefty sum (seven years at $8.8 million a year), and Petro went on to win his second Stanley Cup in five years. Before Vegas was able to take their star defenceman in free agency, they were able to snag four-time St. Louis Blue\u00a0 David Perron<\/a> in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, though just for that year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blues Show Life<\/h3>\n

Covering the Blues is more difficult this year than most, and that is summed up to one reason. That reason being, they are essentially two teams. There\u2019s the team that can play together, play for each other, and defend. Then there\u2019s the Blues team who can\u2019t score, won\u2019t defend, and can\u2019t even seem to find their backup goaltender. <\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
