The St. Louis Blues have lost a fifth straight game. Last time out, it was a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. Head coach Jim Montgomery has been harsh when discussing his team so far this season.

He continued that when discussing the defense after the disappointing loss to the Wings.

“It's shocking to be honest. The amount of Grade-A chances we've given up … something ugly is rearing its head every game,” the head coach said to reporters, according Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

The Blues now have six losses in regulation, giving up five or more goals in all six of those defeats. The team is 31st in the NHL in goals against per game, allowing 4.40 goals per game. Only the San Jose Sharks, who are giving up 4.60 goals per game, are worse. Arti
