Tarasenko’s Blues After Their Fourth Straight Win
The Blues started the season against the Columbus Blue Jackets, beating them 5-2.
Then, St. Louis faced the Seattle Kraken, and a 4-3 final score was sufficient to prove that the Blues were well above their expected level. A 2-0 win against the Oilers proved that the Blues are now off to pursue a similar record to the one they accomplished last season.
Vladimir Tarasenko remains one of the most important players on the team. Tarasenko is now leading the Blues with two goals and four assists, with Justin Faulk also adding three goals.
Pionk’s Jets To Break Away Losing Streak
The Jets are not in an ideal position with a 2-3 record. They are now sixth in the Central Division, meaning they have not yet been able to manage their performances as they would have liked.

The Jets will continue to trust top players such as Neal Pionk, who might be able to lead Winnipeg and straighten their current start. Pionk is now standing with three goals and one assist so far this season.
