For the 6th time this season, the St. Louis Blues tried to climb 4 games over .500, only to fall once again on that treacherous climb. The Florida Panthers defeated the Blues 5-1 behind a 3rd period, natural hat trick by Mathew Tkachuk. It would be only the 2nd loss for the Blues when scoring first (now 17-2-0). Bannister was blunt and direct about the one play that turned the game to the Panthers for good. Parayko talks Bobby Plager after tying him for 3rd on the all-time games played list for a Blues defenseman, and all the highlights, breakdown, opinion and more are right here.
