St. Louis Blues fans were left disappointed with the 1-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, who snapped the Blues' winning streak on Tuesday.
The Blues were on an impressive a five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, with the win, the Blue Jackets ended their two-game skid and improved their recent run away from home.
The Blue Jackets missed the services of Adam Fantilli for the first time this season after he was ruled out due to an injury to his left leg sustained against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
Tuesday's matchup between the St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets only had one goal. At 4:11 of the third period, Dmitri Voronkov scored for the Blue Jackets, which turned out to be the winner in the shutout win over the Blues at Enterprise Center.
Here's how the St. Louis Blues fans on X, formerly called Twitter, reacted to the defeat to the Blue Jackets. One tweeted:
