ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Baseball season might be over in St. Louis with the Cardinals not making the postseason in 2024, but have no fear, hockey season is officially back on.
The St. Louis Blues regular season gets underway Tuesday afternoon, with a afternoon game in Seattle against the Kraken, marking the beginning of a three-game road trip to kick off the season for the Blues before they return home to the Enterprise Center on Oct. 15 to take on the Minnesota Wild.
For the Blues, who fell just six points short of making the playoffs last year, they are still in the middle of a retool, but the Blues do have some exciting young players coming up.
"We been excited about young players we added. We have a pipeline of players that are developing that is certainly the best in the decade since I've been here," said Blues President Chris Zimmermann on 'Sports On A Sunday Morning'.
Forward Dylan Holloway and defenseman Philip Broberg who joined the Blues after a deep Stanley Cup run with the Edmonton Oilers.
Along that, forwards Dalibor Dvorsky and Zach Dean, and Zack Bolduc could make appearances with the team later on in the season, while forward Jimmy Snuggerud is expected to join the team following the conclusion of his junior season with the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
In addition, forward Jake Neighbours, defenseman Matthew Kessel, and goaltender Joel Hofer will look to take a step up after solid seasons by all three last year.
"We're building the next stage of what this team can become," said Zimmermann. "We are all going to learn a lot probably quickly in the year about what this St. Louis Blues team has."
