<p>It what was a tight race for the final Stanley Cup Playoff spots in the Western Conference for a while, no team has outperformed the<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/st-louis-blues/line-combinations"> St. Louis Blues</a>. They have won nine straight games and are sitting on 87 points, seemingly destined for the postseason.</p>



<p>The Blues are coming off a 2-1 win against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/colorado-avalanche/line-combinations">Colorado Avalanche </a>on Saturday night and look ahead to a matchup with the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/detroit-red-wings/news">Detroit Red Wings</a> on Tuesday. But how can they not start looking towards the playoffs?</p>



<p>Former Blues netminder Carter Hutton joined Frank Seravalli on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfv8EJf7ups"><em>Daily Faceoff Live</em></a> on Monday to break it all down.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Seravalli: </strong>Will this team ever lose again? Nine consecutive wins. When you look at this team, they have basically assured themselves at least the eighth seed and could potentially pass the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/minnesota-wild/news">Minnesota Wild</a> for the seventh spot. This team played incredible hockey over the last number of weeks.&nbsp;</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="150"></div>



<p><strong>Hutton: </strong>I look at that little 4 Nations bump for Jordan Binnington; he’s been absolutely rock solid, and I think, mentally, he’s back to where he was.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They lose Pietrangelo, and they’ve lost some players from that really good Stanley Cup team that defended so well, but I think for Binnington, there is a lot of confidence that he can build off of that.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You look down this lineup, and Robert Thomas has been unbelievable—even his stat line, missing 12 games. Zach Bolduc stepped up the other night with a great game and a power play goal, and he’s been a nice addition to this team.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Something that stands out to me, Frank, is their back end. You look at them going to get Cam Fowler, the veteran. He’s been a great addition… They have experience on the back end and I feel like that is so valuable at this time of year.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="153"></div>
