Game 82 of 82. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5o\">The St. Louis Blues are taking on the playoff-bound Utah Mammoth in the final game of the season, as this will send off this squad into the summer. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\">Here are three players to watch for the season-finale. <\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Snuggerud<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5x\">It has <a href=\"https:\/\/bleedinblue.com\/jimmy-snuggerud-is-the-future-of-the-st-louis-blues-01kg7p5z39yj\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">been Jimmy Snuggerud&#8217;s world<\/a>, and we are all just been living in it. The 2025-26 season was an underwhelming year for much of this Blues team, but it not for No. 21. 21 goals and 29 assists for 50 points going into the final game of the season, that is a solid rookie lap around the NHL. <\/p>\n<p>Dalibor Dvorsky<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"63\">After a successful Olympic performance, Dalibor Dvorsky, the youngster hit a bit of a brick wall. Over the last 23 games since the regular season was resumed, he had three goals and three assists. For retrospect, he finished the season with 12 goals and 9 assists total, for 21 points. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">Dvorsky has to have a solid ending to his first-year in the league. Many have debated the Dvorsky versus Snuggerud battle as the next face of the franchise, and Snuggerud is obviously winning. All No. 54 can do is try and get one last good game in before preparing for 2026-27. <\/p>\n<p>Philip Broberg<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">On the defensive side, Philip Broberg is going to be heavily relied on for next season. This season, he went to the Olympics for Team Sweden, signed an extension keeping him in the &#8216;Lou for the next six years and is now the team&#8217;s top defenseman. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">This last game is going to be a transition for him from being the newcomer to this extra set of expectations, and for next season&#8217;s pressure of leading the blueline. Can he be an x-factor in the last game of the year?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow bleedinblue.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=bleedinblue.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is it everyone.
