Blues Extend Winning Streak to Five Games with 4-1 Victory Over Blackhawks

The St. Louis Blues extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, who are now winless in their last seven outings. Alexey Toropchenko and Nathan Walker each contributed a goal and an assist, while Robert Thomas and Zack Bolduc also scored for the Blues, who improved their record to 12-2-2 in their last 16 games. Despite the win, the Blues displayed some uncharacteristic sloppiness throughout the match against the struggling Blackhawks, who have been eliminated from playoff contention. The Blues will face the Nashville Predators in their next game as they continue to push for a playoff spot, while the Blackhawks look to regroup after their latest defeat. This matchup highlighted the contrasting trajectories of the two teams as the Blues aim for postseason success and the Blackhawks focus on rebuilding. Chicago's Ilya Mikheyev scored their only goal, but the team struggled with discipline, leading to costly penalties.
