St. Louis Blues Struggle in Florida, Fall to Panthers in OT

The Blues secure just one point during their Sunshine State road trip, highlighting ongoing offensive challenges.

The St. Louis Blues lost 2-1 in overtime to the Florida Panthers, with Aleksander Barkov scoring the game-winner on a power play with 16.2 seconds left in OT.
Oskar Sundqvist scored the Blues' lone goal, breaking a streak of seven consecutive goals by the team's top scorers, Pavel Buchnevich, Jordan Kyrou, and Robert Thomas.
The Blues’ lack of offensive depth continues to be a concern, as depth players have struggled to contribute consistently to the team's scoring efforts.
In their previous game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Blues lost 3-1 despite generating 32 shots on goal, with coach Jim Montgomery emphasizing the need for more aggressive net-front play.
The Blues' Sunshine State road trip ends with one point from two games, as they prepare to face the Detroit Red Wings next to close out their three-game trip.
