The St. Louis Blues returned from the 4 Nations Face-Off break as one of the hottest teams in the NHL, going on a remarkable 16-2-2 run and rallying to secure their position just seven points behind the final wild card spot. While improved defense and enhanced power play contributions have played a role, the team humorously attributes part of their success to the appearance of a Jobu bobblehead in their locker room, seen as a good luck charm that has boosted team morale and performance.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Matthew DeFranks, 'he just showed up' is the the common answer among the players about Jobu's origin and it seems they don't care to figure out how because he's become their good luck charm.
'Honestly, he just kind of chills there,' centerman Dylan Holloway added. 'It's a good omen for us, and everyone likes having him around.'
The Blues have gone on a 16-2-2 run including 10 straight victories since the arrival of the Jobu bobblehead, scoring a league-best 76 goals.
