St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues are looking to improve upon their previous season despite minimal off-season moves. Two key additions from the Edmonton Oilers have bolstered their lineup, and with a strong center group, they are set to be a tough team to play against. Center Robert Thomas showed significant improvement last season and is poised to continue his upward trajectory. The team had a solid pre-season showing, and while rankings place them at 22 overall, they are positioned to be a threat in the competitive Central Division. In terms of statistics, they are ranked 24 in offense, 14 in defense, and are currently at a 0-0 record for the season.
