Blues' Victory Over Flames Alters Wild Card Race

The Calgary Flames suffered a 4-1 defeat against the St. Louis Blues, marking their second loss in three days in St. Louis and putting them at 1-2 on their road trip. Yegor Sharangovich scored the only goal for the Flames, while Dustin Wolf made 25 saves. This loss was significant in the Western Conference wildcard race, with the Blues narrowing the gap behind the Flames. Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko, and Jordan Kyrou contributed to the Blues' lead with early goals. Jake Neighbours participated in a morning skate despite a recent injury, potentially keeping Brandon Saad as a healthy scratch. The Blues, looking for a sweep against the Flames, have been bolstered by strong performances from players like Jordan Binnington, who was expected to start again following his previous solid performance.
