Here's a recap of the latest Blues Hub Weekly podcast hosted by Brooke Grimsley and Jamal Mayers:

Game Recap & Analysis
  • The St. Louis Blues' four-game win streak came to an end with a 6-3 loss to the Dallas Stars.
  • The key issue: penalty killing struggles—allowing four power-play goals made it nearly impossible to win.
  • Despite the loss, the Blues have been playing well recently, giving fans reason for optimism.
  • Wildcard Playoff Race & Trade Deadline Impact
    • This loss hurts the Blues' wildcard standings, but management likely already has a plan for the trade deadline.
    • Doug Armstrong is expected to stick to his strategy, despite the team's recent success.
    • Mayers speculated that two of the three veterans—Justin Faulk, Nick Leddy, or Brayden Schenn—could be traded.
    • Player Highlights
      • Dylan Holloway: Emerging as a key player, notching his 20th goal of the season.
      • Philip Broberg: Overcoming an injury, showing promise on defense.
      • Colton Parayko: Having a standout season, proving his value as a top defenseman.
      • Zachary Bolduc: Scored his 10th goal of the season, showing real growth.
        Upcoming Schedule & Outlook
        • Blues face the Ducks (a must-win game) and the Kings before the March 7 trade deadline.
        • The team is playing faster and with more confidence, a promising sign despite uncertainty around trades.
        • Prospect Updates with Mike Meyer
          • Jimmy Snuggerud (University of Minnesota) is having a standout season, with 22+ goals and Hobie Baker Award buzz.
          • Nikita Alexandrov (Springfield Thunderbirds) was named AHL Forward of the Month, making a strong case for a call-up.
          • Dalibor Dvorský is progressing well and could be a third-line NHL center next season.
            Final Takeaways
            • The Blues are in an interesting spot—playing well but still on the outside looking in for the playoffs.
            • The trade deadline decisions will be crucial, as management must balance short-term playoff hopes with long-term team building.
