NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks’ Win Streak Means Small Move
By Colin Likas

No. 15: St. Louis Blues

Setting aside a three-game losing streak for the Blues, what exactly is this team trying to achieve moving forward? GM Doug Armstrong hating losing former captain David Backes for nothing last offseason (seems like a blessing in disguise to me), so now he’s trying to shuttle new captain Kevin Shattenkirk off while simultaneously eradicating what remained of goaltender Jake Allen’s confidence — after dumping Brian Elliott in the offseason as well. Doug Armstrong for GM of the Year.
