The St. Louis Blues are the hottest team in hockey, riding a 10-game winning streak into tonight’s crucial matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Enterprise Center. With just 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Blues have transformed themselves from a potential trade deadline seller into a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.
Since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in February, St. Louis has surged to a 16-2-2 record, closing an eight-point gap in the standings and securing the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. After missing the postseason for the last two years, the Blues have put the NHL on notice with their dominant stretch and newfound depth, bolstered by key prospect call-ups.
Their current 10-game winning streak—which began on March 15—is already tied for the second-longest in franchise history. With a win tonight against Pittsburgh, the Blues would match their all-time record of 11 consecutive victories, originally set during the 2018-19 season when they went on to win their first Stanley Cup. Should they continue this form through Saturday’s game, they would set a new franchise record with 12 straight wins.
In his post-practice press conference, head coach Jim Montgomery addressed the team’s remarkable turnaround, their playoff mentality, and the importance of staying focused during this critical stretch.
