At the beginning of the season, McMichael and McTavish were looking like steals. And in some ways, the case can still be made that the Blues have won that trade by leaps and bounds, but the fall off is beginning…
Writer Evan Mead reports that the St. Louis Blues have hit a scoring drought after going two consecutive games without a goal. The team suffered an offensive slump in a recent 2-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens following a difficult match against the Carolina Hurricanes. Mead highlights that the team's second line, featuring Mason McTavish, Connor McMichael, and Jonatan Berggren, has experienced noticeable offensive regression after providing an early-season surge.
Mead argues that the offensive dip is particularly evident in McMichael and Berggren, noting McMichael recorded only one assist and a -6 rating over his last five games. While McTavish continues to display offensive flashes on the power play and at even strength, Mead contends that reigniting production from McMichael and Berggren remains crucial for the Blues to restore their offensive consistency.
