Berggren has now played three games with the Blues. After scoring a goal in his second appearance, he added a goal with two assists in his new team's 6-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Saturday evening.
Berggren was re-signed by the Red Wings during the offseason to a one-year contract, and he could very well be earning himself a new contract if he can keep up his hot start with his new team.
