As the NHL season progresses, attention is drawing towards key players making significant impacts in their respective teams. The St. Louis Blues are gearing up for a crucial matchup, with team captain Brayden Schenn at the forefront. Schenn’s recent performance in a win against the Montreal Canadiens solidified his status as a pivotal member of the Blues. In that game, he notched up three points, comprising two goals and one assist, marking his 100th multi-point game in St. Louis. This achievement places him in an elite group, as he becomes just the 13th player in the franchise’s history to reach this milestone. Schenn is on a streak, having scored points in his last two outings, and is poised to hit a career milestone soon, just two points shy of reaching 700.
On the other side, the Boston Bruins are also witnessing impressive performances from Pavel Zacha. The center has emerged as a vital contributor, currently on a three-game point streak with a total of three points in his last two matches (two goals and one assist). Zacha’s consistent offensive output has been crucial for the Bruins this season, as he accumulates 21 points (seven goals and 14 assists) over the course of 29 games. His unique blend of physicality and finesse makes him a player to watch closely in the upcoming match against the Blues.
In addition to these standout players, there are notable developments in the league. Dylan Holloway, for instance, is fast approaching significant career milestones, sitting just two points shy of 100 career points and four games short of 200 in his NHL journey.
The Blues have shown resilience lately, securing points in 12 out of their last 16 games, with a record of 7-4-5 since early November. This streak mirrors their competitive spirit as they aim to improve their standing in the league.
Upcoming matchups include a game against the Nashville Predators on December 11, followed by two home games against the Chicago Blackhawks and another chance to face the Predators again on December 15. As teams continue to vie for playoff positions, the contributions of players like Schenn and Zacha will be crucial in determining their success in the games ahead.
