Arizona has three points on the season.
Before we discuss the return of Oskar Sundqvist, it’s only appropriate to mention that the sun has truly set on the Kyle Clifford era. Not only was he waived to head to the Springfield Thunderbirds, he was then dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs for the nebulous “future considerations.”

Hockey taketh away, but hockey giveth, and hockey giveth us Oskar Sundqvist tonight. And Torey Krug. And Scott Perunovich.
And the Arizona Coyotes, who are firmly the worst team in the NHL.
After a rough weekend, maybe tonight will be a good night for the Blues.
