St. Louis weather from Meteorologist Angela Hutti:ST. LOUIS - A slow-moving storm will bring a mix of rain and snow to the St. Louis region on Wednesday. This starts as rain but will mix with some snow as temperatures drop a few degrees. Because the ground is still warm and air temperatures will be above freezing, most of what falls will melt on contact. Some short bursts of snow may be intense enough to allow for some slushy buildups on lesser-traveled roads, especially west and southwest of metro St. Louis. We mostly expect only minor slushy accumulations on grassy surfaces, car tops, trees, etc., and even there it will melt pretty quickly.  St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here Mixed precipitation does look like it will transition to all snow into Wednesday evening before tapering to flurries late at night. Temperatures will remain a few degrees above freezing, which should limit widespread road impacts. However, the loss of sunshine will allow for a bit more accu...

A healthy Girard, not to mention a continuation of the positive early returns on Sam Malinski and Caleb Jones, could make the Avs feel really good about this defense corps and not just the top half of it.A healthy Lehkonen could be the key to finding some balance up front. Getting him and either Valeri Nichushkin or Mikko Rantanen together with Ryan Johansen could fix what ails the club’s second-line problems.Johansen, Lehkonen and...

George Gwozdecky was asked to reflect on the growth of Valor Christian hockey.The coach responded with a bemused smile and an anecdote from the 2015-16 season, his first at the school.“I was so naïve, I didn’t know what I didn’t know,” Gwozdecky said. “I remember my wife asking me after that first week of practice, ‘Is this something you really want to do?’ Because I would explain to her some of the experiences that were happening at practice.“There were things that I had never experienced before. One player wanted to try out to be a defenseman and he couldn’t skate backwards. I had to explain to him that one of the skills that you have to have as a defenseman is the ability to skate backwards.”Gwozdecky paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts, and then continued.“From that point to where we are right now — we can all skate backwards, by the way — we have been able to become more competitive every year.
