ST. LOUIS — The Blues lost another forward on Sunday when Jordan Kyrou had to sit out the game with an injury, bringing to 10 the number of unavailable Blues at the moment.
After getting three straight wins with their No. 4 goalie in the nets, they turned to the No. 4 goalie’s backup, who isn’t really even No. 5 on the team’s depth chart.
The preposoterous has become routine for the Blues, who keep picking up old pairs of pants and finding $20 bills in the pocket. On Sunday, it was another star turn for Nathan Walker, who scored the go-ahead goal in the third period on a shot from the top of the slot that found the top right corner and, in the most unpredictable one yet, a big game in goal from Jon Gillies, who couldn’t get in a game last season as the Blues’ No. 3 goalie but wound up in net a season later because he was available when the Blues needed a goalie.
