When looking at the numbers for how this squad did at the Enterprise Center, versus opposing barns, the numbers might surprise you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5o\">They were not as good as they were last season on home ice, but it is closer than you think if you remember how bad they were to start the year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\">Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n<p>Sluggish start at home, turned into an advantage\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5x\">To start the season, the Blues were abysmal on home ice. Including the 5-0 beatdown at the hands of the Minnesota Wild on opening night, this team allowed 5+ goals in three of the first five home games of the year. Not a great start by any means.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"60\">But, overall, they were actually better at home this season than on the road. At 18-13-7, they beat their away record of 15-19-5. What a treat for the Blues faithful who attend every home game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"63\">Dylan Holloway led the team with 12 goals on home ice this season, followed by Jordan Kyrou at 11 and then Jimmy Snuggerud with 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Much better last year, but time to make ground<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"69\">Last season, the team posted a 24-14-3 home record. This season, we cannot see the same number of wins or overcome it, but with three home games left, it could be closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">The Blues have to treat every game as a must-win, and that is the truth. A single loss, or even an overtime loss, could potentially<a href=\"https:\/\/bleedinblue.com\/the-blues-have-to-go-for-it-at-this-point-right-01knhs8kmns3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> push them past the point of no return<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">It all starts with a home bout against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. This will be the final meeting between these two teams, and the wildcard race hinges upon it.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St. Louis Blues are nearing the end of the 2025-26 season, and now is the time to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":549074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5120],"tags":[71,5,4,534,84,5285,5284],"class_list":{"0":"post-549073","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-st-louis-blues","8":"tag-blues","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-st-louis","12":"tag-st-louis-blues","13":"tag-stlouis","14":"tag-stlouisblues"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116377312556808355","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
