St. Louis Blues Make Surprising Healthy Scratch
The Buffalo Sabres returned to the ice Thursday night to face a struggling St. Louis Blues team. The Blues have a disappointing 4-8-2 record this season and have gone 1-6-2 in their last nine games, including a heavy 6-1 loss to the Washington Capitals the night before.
Blues' Search for Solutions
In an effort to find answers, the Blues have explored various options and opted for a surprising move. According to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic, the team will have Jordan Kyrou as a healthy scratch.
Head coach Jim Montgomery said, “Many players could have been scratched after last night’s game, and ultimately I decided on this group tonight.”
Impact of Benching Kyrou
Choosing to bench Kyrou is notable, as he is currently tied for second on the team in both goals and points. Entering this season, Kyrou has recorded three consecutive seasons with 30 or more goals, making him a key player for the Blues. Furthermore, he has been especially productive against the Buffalo Sabres, tallying nine points in 10 career games.
Good News for Buffalo Sabres
For the Sabres, this development is positive, as they won’t have to contend with one of the Blues' top goal scorers during the game.
