The all-star break gives injured players a chance to rest and streaky players a chance to collect themselves.

Will the Blues' Matt D’Agostini continue is solid play once his injured mates return?

We knew Keith Yandle was good, but this good?; Lucic back to reality; Hornqvist starting a hot streak?; and more.
