No. 9: St. Louis Blues

Previous: 8th

Record: 20-13-5

St. Louis is beginning to heat up as we’ve reached 2017. The new-look Blues certainly lack the physicality that they’ve grown very accustomed to, but they’ve continued to play at a high level both offensively and defensively. The Blues currently have the 3rd-best PK percentage in the league at 86.4. Vladimir Tarasenko has continued to impress with his team-leading 41 points (18 goals, 23 assists)
