The St. Louis Blues demonstrated their resilience with a successful week, achieving a 3-0-0 record and positioning themselves just four points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Despite being sellers at the trade deadline, the team remains firmly in the fight for the postseason.

Before turning the page to the new week, we take a look at the standout Blues players from the previous week. The team has shown great recovery and determination in their pursuit of a playoff spot.

Last Tuesday marked the fifth anniversary of the passing of Blues legend Bobby Plager. Plager, a member of the inaugural team, was a beloved figure within the organization. The Blues celebrated his legacy throughout the day. The team played against the Washington Capitals with the Plager family in attendance, and the Blues won 3-0, dedicating the victory to Bobby. It was a physical game, something the Plager brothers would have approved of.

Otto Stenberg scored a crucial goal in the third period, securing the win. Bobby's (5) and Barclay's (8) numbers were remembered during the game, showing the enduring impact of the Plager brothers on the team and community.

Jimmy Snuggerud continues to improve as his rookie season progresses, accumulating 17 goals and 39 points. The 21-year-old has the chance to reach 20 goals and approach 50 points, which would be a success in his first season. Snuggerud recorded three points last week: two goals and one assist. His goal on Tuesday was the game-winning goal, and his goal on Saturday broke the scoreless tie. In addition to his points, he generates numerous shots on goal. On Tuesday, he had five shots, and on Sunday, four.

Although he won't be taking home the Calder Trophy this summer, Snuggerud has had an excellent rookie season, and he still has time to achieve more.

Dylan Holloway repeated as the week's standout player, scoring two goals and recording two assists in three games, including an overtime-winning goal with just three seconds left in the period. Holloway has had a great month, being the best of the season so far, with six goals and nine assists. His outstanding performance has coincided with the Blues' resurgence in the playoff race, being an important part of the team's offense. Holloway is close to another 20-goal season since joining the Blues in August 2024.

The Blues will start a four-game road trip this week, with the first three games in California before heading to Colorado on Easter Sunday. With six points at stake this week, each point is extremely important for the team's playoff aspirations. Initially, these points seemed destined to affect the draft position, but now they are crucial to staying in the fight for the postseason.
