Blues' Playoff Hopes Hinge on Tough Schedule

0:00On April 6th, the St. Louis Blues are in the thick of a wild finish to the 2025-26 NHL season, scratching and clawing for a wild, card-spot. Sitting at 33 wins, 31 losses and 12 ties for 78 points, they were sellers at the trade deadline, but flipped the. Scripped with recent fire, they smashed Anaheim 62, thanks to Dylan Holloway's two goals, then stunned league-leading Colorado 3-2. Now they've grabbed points in seven of their last eight games, keeping playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, with Braden Shin out the door, the team's hunting for a new captain. Local buzz and NHL insiders are pushing hard for 24-year-old forward Jake Neighbors to take the scene next year, especially as his contract, talks heat up. That leadership spot feels wide open, and fans are debating who steps up. On the blue line, they're building for tomorrow with the fresh signing of defensive prospect Colin Ralph. It's seen as a smart move amid a full rebuild on defense, adding some stability to the mix.

Eastern Winnipeg Thursday, April 9th at APM, then hit the road Saturday, April 11th at Atten. Chicago 5pm, wrapping with Minnesota Home Monday, April 13th at APM. If the blue snack points here, that miracle run stays real, otherwise it's golf season early. Keep eyes on Enterprise Center for the Drama. This has been NHL News Today, powered by AI.
