After seven straight games against the Arizona Coyotes, it’s nice to see someone - anyone - else on the schedule. Thursday night the Blues head to San Jose to give the Sharks a chance to get going at home.
It was fortuitous that the Blues and Coyotes were able to fill their schedules with, well, each other as the rest of the West was on hiatus. It got exhausting to watch the same two teams play each other for two weeks straight without the excitement of playoff hockey as the payoff.

If you’re wondering why future games are being tweaked, it’s to make room for past games that need to be future games. Duh.
Mark your calendars.
