Blues Surging Forward Nearing New Impressive Career-High
Jake Neighbours (© Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images)St. Louis Blues forward Jake Neighbours is red-hot. The 2020 first-round pick is currently sporting a four-game point streak, where he has two goals, five points, and a plus-2 rating over that span. He also has five goals and 11 points in his previous 10 contests, so he has been on a heater for a good chunk of time now.
With Neighbours being one of the Blues' most promising young forwards, it is undoubtedly encouraging to see him producing offense so consistently. With his hot stretch of play, he now has 18 goals and a career-high 18 assists in 68 games this season.
Neighbours is also inching closer to setting another new impressive career-high at this stage of the season. With his 36 points this campaign, Neighbours needs only three more to set a new career-high in the stat. He posted 38 points last season with the Blues in 77 games.
Neighbours has a good chance of setting this new career-high if he stays healthy. With the Blues still having 14 games remaining and Neighbours thriving right now, it would not be too surprising if he reached his 39th point of the season shortly. We will need to wait and see what happens on that front from here.
