St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis has already made plenty of changes this season. First was the coaching change from Bannister to Montgomery, now the Cam Fowler trade. St. Louis certainly isn’t sitting on their hands when trying to improve their team this season.

The Blues are currently tied for 5th in the Central Division with Utah HC, and three places out of a Wild Card position. Recent changes to the roster and coaching staff need to start impacting the points column for the Blues to have any playoff hopes.
