Watch: Sobotka scores in 1st game back with Blues

Finally, Vladimir Sobotka has come back to St. Louis.

In his first game with the Blues in almost three years, the Czech forward found the back of the net, banging a Jori Lehtera pass into the Colorado Avalanche net.

Sobotka returned from his KHL hiatus earlier this week, signing a three-year contract extension that will kick in next season.

In the meantime, he could prove to be a valuable and unexpected contributor in the postseason.
