The Blues will be without longtime forward Jordan Kyrou during Thursday’s game against the Sabres. Kyrou is reportedly a healthy scratch for the game, one night after St. Louis was thrashed in a lopsided 6–1 defeat to the Capitals.
It’s an interesting decision from coach Jim Montgomery, who opted to pull Kyrou from the lineup. Kyrou has been one of the Blues’ best players this season, both offensively and defensively, so it’s possible Montgomery is trying to send a message to the locker room in the aftermath of Wednesday’s lopsided defeat.
