1 winner and 2 dreadful losses in Blues 5-2 loss to Predators

The St. Louis Blues suffered a 5-2 defeat against the Nashville Predators, falling apart in the third period after trailing 3-2 through 40 minutes. Writer Justin Bonhard assessed the performance, labeling forward Jimmy Snuggerud as the sole winner after he scored a power-play goal. Bonhard noted Snuggerud is currently maintaining a strong scoring pace during a crucial contract year.

Conversely, Bonhard highlighted goaltender Jordan Binnington and the team's struggling power play as major negatives. Binnington surrendered five goals on 24 shots, continuing a difficult start across his first three games of the season. Bonhard also criticized the Blues' overall man-advantage execution, which converted just one of five opportunities despite facing Nashville's penalty-killing unit.
