13. Brian Sutter

 65 games (1977-1988), 21 goals, 21 assists, 249 penalty minutes (all-time Blues playoff record), one game-winning goal

Brian Sutter may not have been the same type of electrifying offensive presence that most other players on this list were, but his durability (nine postseason appearances with the Blues, including a role in six series victories), as well as his ability to be a thorn in the side of opponents, earns him a spot among this group.

From an offensive standpoint, Sutter’s best postseason came in 1981-82, when he had eight goals and six assists in 10 games. Sutter’s greatest postseason moment, however, came on May 12, 1986, as he scored to start a 12-minute third-period rally during which the Blues would score three, tying the Calgary Flames at 5-5 and setting up an overtime victory that would eventually come to be known as the “Monday Night Miracle.” While Greg Paslawski and Doug Wickenheiser get the everlasting credit for scoring the tying and game-winning goals, respectively, the comeback win wouldn’t have been possible if Sutter hadn’t gotten things going in the third.
