Home opener dampened by more solid play, lack of finishing; top line is doing Blues no favors right now despite creating more opportunities; McMichael, McTavish chemistry continues to shine;
The St. Louis Blues fell 3-2 in overtime to the San Jose Sharks at Enterprise Center on Thursday, dropping their third straight game. Despite controlling large portions of play and leading twice, St. Louis struggled to finish scoring opportunities. Connor McMichael opened the scoring for the Blues, and Dillon Dube added a shorthanded goal in the third period, but Collin Graf tied the game before Darnell Nurse secured the overtime winner for San Jose.
Blues head coach Jim Montgomery expressed frustration over his team's inability to convert chances, noting that missed opportunities continue to prove costly. The Sharks earned the victory despite playing without injured captain Macklin Celebrini, while St. Louis fell to a 1-2-1 record on the season.
