Chris Stewart scored a pair of goals for the Blues on Thursday in a 3-0 defeat of the Coyotes.

Stewart has now scored four goals in his past two games to reach 13 on the season and making him one of the better redemption stories in the league after his struggles last year. Linemates Alexander Steen (one goal, two assists) and David Backes (two assists) also got into the action as the trio registered all three goals in the game.

Chris Stewart had a goal and three assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over Phoenix.

Stewart has exploded with five goals and 16 points in his last 13 games. He's got a lot of potential, so we wouldn't rule out the possibility of him maintaining a point-per-game pace. At the same time, his lack of playing time is a red flag. He's averaging 14:60 minutes per game and his hot streak hasn't changed that.

Chris Stewart had a goal and an assist in the Blues' 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings on Wednesday night.

Stewart is a different player this season. After slogging through last season's campaign with 15 goals 30 points, he now has six goals and eight points in 13 games this year -- and he's still getting over a penalty minute per game. Alexander Steen was the Blues' hero with the goal in overtime. Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrik Berglund potted the other markers.
