That goal flipped the momentum and sparked a dominant middle frame for St. Louis Dalibor Dvorsky doubled the lead minutes later, finishing off a beautiful passing sequence set up by Jake Neighbours, and Jimmy Snuggerud capped the scoring as the Blues poured it on in a rare strong second period — an area that has plagued them all season Joel Hofer was outstanding in net, earning his fourth shutout of the season — tied for the NHL lead — as the Blues held one of the league’s top offensive teams scoreless while getting production up and down the lineup, especially from their young core With Hall of Fame night energy in the building and strong depth contributions throughout the lineup, the Blues sent a loud message that they’re still in the playoff hunt — and showed exactly what they’re capable of when everything clicks.
