ST. LOUIS -- In a night where the puck wouldn't go in the net and they eventually crumbled in a 5-2 loss against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, perhaps scoring in his second straight game will have Brayden Schenn off and running offensively.
Yes, Schenn was one of many Blues who missed glorious chances in the first two periods -- he had his stick tied up by Jets captain Adam Lowry in the crease in the second half of the second period, followed by firing wide on an open net, but the Blues captain played 16:23, had four shot attempts, had four takeaways and was 77 percent on the face-off dot.
Schenn now has four points (two goals, two assists) in his past two games after having just one assist in nine games to begin the season.
He was one of the veterans gripping the stick a bit and scored at 8:08 of the third period on a shot from the left circle that Connor Hellebuyck should have stopped but when things seem to be going right, those are the kinds of things that happen.
Let's see if it continues for Schenn.
