The St. Louis Blues continue their preseason journey in Des Moines, Iowa, facing off against the newly relocated Utah Hockey Club. After a narrow loss to the Dallas Stars, the Blues aim to showcase new talents and enhance team dynamics.

Tonight’s lineup includes key forwards Radek Faksa, Dylan Holloway, and Dalibor Dvorsky, with Dvorsky making his anticipated debut after being a high draft pick. Coach Drew Bannister emphasizes the importance of gameplay experience for newcomers alongside veteran leadership.

The Blues previously struggled with penalties and gave away momentum during their last match, but showed competitiveness and resilience, especially from goaltenders Jordan Binnington and Colten Ellis. Overall, adjustments are needed as they move forward in the preseason.
