With a 4-0-1 mark in their last five games, the Isles looked to continue their strong play as they welcomed one of the best in the West, the St.Louis Blues to Barclays earlier this evening. Thomas Greiss was back between the pipes, and Anthony Beauvillier returned to the lineup replacing Ryan Strome as the flu bug is still in and around the Isles room the past week. On to another huge contest where the Isles were victorious once again, this time 3-2. They are now 5-0-1 in their past six games and are beginning to click on all cylinders. The team will be back in action Saturday night against a red hot Columbus Blue Jackets squad where they look to extend their point streak to seven straight games.

If that’s not a Top 10 goal of the week, they shouldn’t do the segment. #Isles
