In the first hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley is joined by NHL.com writer Lou Korac to discuss how the Blues survived a 6-on-3 in the final minute of Monday’s game to defeat the Colorado Avalanche. Have the Blues turned themselves around since their eight game losing streak with this recent stretch of wins? Lou thinks so. Matt also shares some speculation from Ken Rosenthal, who in a recent article for The Athletic, opined that Matt Carpenter has a case to make a return to the Cardinals.
