Along the way, the Blues picked up Sammy Blais and Jakub Vrana via trade, and Kasperi Kapanen off waivers. Let’s go to the tote board. Those five players traded away by St. Louis have combined for 15 goals with their new teams. Meanwhile, Blais, Vrana and Kapanen have combined for 20 goals with the Blues. OK, small sample size. We get it. But who would’ve figured that? All three new Blues scored in Saturday’s 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. Blais scored his eighth goal in 21 games since rejoining the Blues; Vrana got his sixth in 10 games; and Kapanen got his fifth and sixth in 13 games. In hockey and in life, there’s nothing like a second chance. Blais’ total equaled his single-season career-high in the NHL achieved in 2020-21 with St. Louis. Throw in two goals by Brayden Schenn, giving him 21 for the season, and you have a recipe for success.
