The St. Louis Blues are picking up steam after the Olympic break, going two wins, one loss, and no overtime defeats in their first three games back. They've outscored opponents nine goals to four, with starting goalies holding teams to two goals, or fewer each time. It's a small sample, but a solid start to shake off the rest. Huntsman Logan Mayu stepped up big with Colton Perraiko, sidelined by back spasms. The young player saw his ice time jump from around 14 minutes per game to nearly 20 minutes over the three outings. He even chipped in a goal during Sunday's victory, showing he can handle more responsibility. Forward, Pavel Bucknovitch kept the points coming, tallying at least one in every game this week. His late third period tally sealed Sunday's win, and at age 30, he's heating up enough to eye 20 goals and 50 points for the season.

1:00That hot streak has folks wondering about trade buzz ahead of the deadline. Dylan Holloway made ways right out of injured reserve, exploding for four points including his second career hat trick in his return game. He followed with five shots the next night, proving he's shaking off a tough injury plagued year after a strong 26 goal campaign last season. The Blues head west on their road trip, with Friday's match up falling on trade deadline day. Even swirl about the lineup, will stars like Robert Thomas, Jordan Cairo, or Goli Jordan-Binnington stick around. Plenty of changes could be coming soon.
