St. Louis Blues

State of the teamSt. Louis slipped back to 86 points and out of the playoffs after sneaking in the year before. The Blues became deadline sellers, dealing captain Brayden Schenn and defenceman Justin Faulk as the season got away from them. Robert Thomas led the offence, but coach Jim Montgomery's group couldn't recapture the previous spring's late surge. St. Louis reshaped its top six, trading Jordan Kyrou to Washington for Connor McMichael and giving up two first-round picks for 23-year-old Mason McTavish. McMichael signed for six years and $40.5 million, and Brandon Carlo came in on defence. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.

Zone Time

Offensive-zone time is the why behind shot-attempt share (SAT%) above — a team that lives in the offensive zone out-attempts opponents. The line tracks how that's moved season by season; the bar is this year's split. Based on NHL player-tracking data.
