The St. Louis Blues saw their momentum grind to a halt with a frustrating 4–2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in a game that felt far more lopsided than the score suggests. After a promising first period capped by a Jimmy Snuggerud goal that gave St. Louis an early lead, the Blues completely lost control in a disastrous second period where Buffalo seized the momentum and never let go. St. Louis struggled badly to generate offense, finishing with just 18 shots on goal while turning the puck over repeatedly and failing to create quality chances. Despite a late push and brief flashes of life, including Snuggerud’s goal providing the team’s biggest spark, the Blues couldn’t find the net when it mattered most. Buffalo capitalized on deflections, sustained pressure, and timely goals to secure the win, leaving St. Louis once again searching for consistency, offensive identity, and urgency as they remain stuck on the playoff bubble with their season slipping further into uncertainty.
