Mason McTavish, Connor McMichael Have Gone Cold Since Hot Starts To Blues Career

St. Louis Blues offseason acquisitions Mason McTavish and Connor McMichael have entered offensive slumps following productive starts to their tenures. After posting 10 points in his first 10 games, McTavish has gone scoreless, while McMichael has managed only two assists across his last nine contests. The scoring dip comes under scrutiny after the Blues traded two first-round draft picks for McTavish and moved Jordan Kyrou to Washington to acquire McMichael.

Despite the recent scoring drop, underlying metrics show positive underlying play, with McMichael and McTavish maintaining strong Corsi and expected goals percentages. In response to the slump, head coach Jim Montgomery is adjusting their forward line by replacing Jonatan Berggren with Aleksanteri Kaskimaki ahead of the Blues' matchup against the New Jersey Devils.
