The St. Louis Blues are off to yet another slow start to their season after Thursday's home opener loss to the San Jose Sharks and a newly named alternate captain is part of the reason why.
Josh Berg argues that newly named St. Louis Blues alternate captain Jake Neighbours has experienced a difficult start to the season, contributing to the team's early struggles. Across the first four games, Neighbours has recorded zero goals and zero assists while generating only four shots on goal.
The article notes that Neighbours has seen his ice time drop to just over 14 minutes per game on the third line under head coach Jim Montgomery. Berg emphasizes that Neighbours must regain his gritty, net-front presence and secondary scoring to help St. Louis turn their season around.
