Blues forward scored goal, his sixth in past seven games; had nine shot attempts in 6-3 loss against Predators
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Brandon Saad continues to quietly produce for the St. Louis Blues.
The forward was at it again in a 6-3 loss against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday.
Saad scored his 26th goal of the season, a beauty from the slot in the first period for his sixth goal in the past seven games, putting him one off the team lead. He is thriving right now playing with Robert Thomas and Jake Neighbours and was a force in the game, a game in which the Blues peppered Juuse Saros with 47 shots.
Saad conceivably could have had two or three more goals after a team-high six shots on goal on nine attempts' he was a plus-1 in 17:24 for the game.
"I thought 'Jakey' and 'Saader' played great," said Thomas, who set up Saad to tie the game 1-1 in the first. "They created a lot of space and were open. They made some good plays and made a lot of looks. Pretty frustrating result."
Saad has eight points in his past seven games and 19 points (13 goals, six assists) in the past 24 games.
