The St. Louis Blues have achieved a remarkable feat by securing victories in succession on ten occasions. They are currently enjoying a remarkable ten-game winning streak, and it’s clear they have every intention of maintaining this impressive run. Only a few weeks back, they were in a tight race for that wild card position in the Western Conference. However, following a series of victories, they now find themselves securely in seventh place, having played 76 games with a record of 41 wins, 28 losses, 7 overtime losses, and a total of 89 points amassed.

Blues head coach Jim Montgomery has praised his team’s remarkable resilience. What reason would he have not to? After securing a 2-1 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings on April 1, 2025, Montgomery emphasized his team’s performance, remarking, “The great thing is we found a way to win. Our third period continues to be a period where we play simple, our habits are at their best and our game management was the best.”

The Red Wings certainly applied significant pressure on the Blues, yet it was St. Louis that ultimately claimed victory in the contest at Enterprise Center. Have you heard that a particular question has been circulating within the NHL community? On X, TSN’s Jesse Pollock posed the question, “Who is your dark horse to win the Stanley Cup?”

Many individuals had the same thought as they had the St. Louis Blues in their mind. The franchise achieved a comparable milestone in 2019. The Blues transformed their fortunes, rising from the bottom of the NHL standings to clinch their inaugural Stanley Cup in that remarkable season.

This enduring underdog mentality continues to characterize the franchise, endearing them to fans who eagerly support them in uncertain playoff situations. Once again, the supporters are rallying behind them.
