In an effort to close out the season on a good note after that Blues-Kings series, I want to look at St. Louis squad from best to worst this year. To do so, I am using a very simple formula. I am just going to take hockey-reference's point shares and divide them by minutes played to come up with point shares per minute on the ice for each player on the Blues this season. I will also divide the point shares by games played to get points shares per game on the ice. Statistics after the jump.
