The injury bug is still hanging around St. Louis, but the Blues aren’t backing down. This week, we break down how new faces — from recent trades and AHL call-ups — are stepping up and making their presence felt on the ice.

We dig into standout performances, what this stretch says about the Blues’ depth, and how the team is grinding through adversity as the schedule lightens up. With just two games on the docket thanks to the holiday week, we also look ahead at what’s next and what the Blues need to carry forward.

All that, plus our latest thoughts from around the league, on this week’s episode of Two for Chirping.
