FINAL: Rangers 3, #stlblues 2

Monty on Mailloux: "Yeah, I think he had a good tour of duty there in Springfield. He feels good about his game, got a lot of touches, got a lot of minutes. Now he's excited. You can tell just by the way he's skating out there and the smile on his face." #stlblues

Mailloux on return from @ThunderbirdsAHL: "Nobody wants to get sent down, but, no, I think it was good for me to play some minutes and play in all situations, just kind of get my feel back and my touch back. I'm happy to get back and get going." #stlblues

#stlblues morning skate at New York Rangers: Neighbours-Thomas-Snuggerud Schenn-Dvorsky-Buchnevich Holloway-Suter-Kyrou Toropchenko-Sundqvist-Walker Broberg-Parayko Tucker-Faulk Fowler-Mailloux Hofer

From ‘cold tub’ to scoreboard, Blues may have a new line combo with rookie center. #stlblues

FINAL: #stlblues 2, Islanders 1

Monty on Sundqvist sitting, whether it's his play, load management or get Bjugstad back in the lineup: "It's a combination of a lot of things. Most importantly we can't have guys sit on the sideline that long. You know, Sunny, sometimes it is load management." #stlblues

#stlblues projected lineup at New York Islanders: Neighbours-Thomas-Snuggerud Schenn-Dvorsky-Buchnevich Holloway-Suter-Kyrou Toropchenko-Bjugstad-Walker Broberg-Parayko Fowler-Faulk Tucker-Kessel Binnington

Per Monty: Bjugstad in for Sundqvist, Binnington in net. #stlblues

Inside Blues practice: How coach Jim Montgomery, players prepare after hard losses

Monty: "We're trying to scrape out two points and we haven't been able to. I like our effort. I like the way that we're playing hard for each other. We've got to find ways to extend leads. We've got to find ways to close out games. (MORE)

FINAL (OT): Flyers 3, Blues 2

#stlblues projected lineup at Philadelphia: Neighbours-Thomas-Snuggerud Schenn-Dvorsky-Buchnevich Holloway-Suter-Kyrou Toropchenko-Sundqvist-Walker Broberg-Parayko Fowler-Faulk Tucker-Kessel Hofer

Looks like Neighbours will be with Thomas/Snuggerud. "We had success in the half a game we played together (in Detroit)," he said. "I think the three of us, what each of us brings, it's a good combination, and I think it blends together pretty well. I'm excited and ready to go." #stlblues

Monty on Neighbours: "It's good news. He was our leading goal scorer when he left the lineup. The character, all that stuff, it really matters to the little things that make up real success in a locker room, on the bench and on the ice."

Neighbours' return tonight is a few days ahead of schedule. Monty said the earliest Neighbours was expected to be back was Saturday against NYI and it could've been the end of the road trip Wednesday against NJ. #stlblues

Monty: "We did play with much more intention. We were much more physical, and those things are good. But we need to start winning games." #stlblues

Monty on OT goal: "We doubled up in the corner (with Buchnevich/Broberg on Tavares) and we weren't able to win the battle. I know it's a high-end player (Tavares) but we've got to win the battle. We had won a lot of battles during the game and that was one that cost us the game."

#stlblues projected lineup at Toronto: Holloway-Thomas-Snuggerud Schenn-Dvorsky-Kyrou Buchnevich-Suter-Joseph Toropchenko-Sundqvist-Walker Broberg-Parayko Fowler-Faulk Tucker-Kessel Binnington

Neighbours also working with the main group today and looks to be moving well. #stlblues

The Blues are just a bad team, and no more examples are needed to prove it. #stlblues

Monty on what else he can do: "All I know in life is you just work, and you work and you watch film ... you talk to your staff, you talk to your managers, you talk to your leaders and you keep working together and you come up with solutions. (MORE)

Faulk on Blues after Vegas scored to take a 3-0 lead 36 seconds into the second period: "The life on the bench and within the group, to be honest there wasn't a ton, and it kind of got drained after that. Ultimately, kind of played the game on autopilot, it seemed." #stlblues

FINAL: Vegas 4, #stlblues 1

Blues hope new fourth line provides needed identity: ‘Energy, momentum, details, habits’

FINAL: #stlblues 3, Flames 2

Monty on Sundqvist back in lineup: "We haven't used him and Toropchenko and Walker yet. That's how we kind of envisioned the fourth line being, and this is going to be a good opportunity for them to become an identity line for us." #stlblues

What if 2025-26 becomes a lost season for the Blues? Would Gavin McKenna offset it?

Army on Mailloux: “Obviously the season for the Blues and Logan hasn’t started the way we want it to, and I think it’s important for him to go down and play a number of games to get his game back in order and to unlock his mind. (MORE)

Blues assign Logan Mailloux to AHL for what GM Doug Armstrong calls ‘a reset’ www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Monty: "We were certain we were going to win the game. The criteria for goalie interference is, the player has to be in the blue paint. Then he has to impede the goalie from playing his position. His left skate hits our goalie's stick and when he hits the goalie's stick, his arm has to come in.

Kraken win it 4-3 in overtime. #stlblues

How the Blues’ Jordan Kyrou responds to healthy scratch can shape season’s direction.

Monty: "I thought the majority of the game the effort was significantly better than yesterday. I thought the physicality was good. I liked the way we dug in. There were numerous blocked shots and our goaltender was our best player, and that's what you need on the road." #stlblues

FINAL: #stlblues 3, Sabres 0

#stlblues projected lineup at Buffalo tonight, per Blues: Buchnevich-Thomas-Texier Holloway-Suter-Schenn Toropchenko-Dvorsky-Snuggerud Joseph-Bjugstad-Walker Broberg-Parayko Fowler-Faulk Tucker-Kessel Hofer

Blues to make Jordan Kyrou a healthy scratch against Sabres. #stlblues

Schenn: "Just the competitive level. We don't compete and battle and in this league you're going to get your butt kicked most nights. It's happened way too many nights over and over again. Until we show up to the rink and compete for one another then we'll start getting results."

Monty on loss: "Well this is unacceptable tonight. It's that simple. We have to dig in, and starting tomorrow morning when we wake up, have a good skate and get ready to play the Sabres. And show up for our fans, our city and our owners." #stlblues

Goalie Jordan Binnington tries to hide Alex Ovechkin’s 900th goal in his pants. #stlblues

Monty on when game was lost: "From the drop of the puck. We got the puck 10 ft before the redline in the first five seconds of the game and we (Oskar Sundqvist) iced it. We weren't ready to play. We weren't ready to start on time. And we got worse after the 1st period." #stlblues

FINAL: Capitals 6, #stlblues 1

FINAL: Capitals 6, #stlblues 1

Binnington is the projected starter tonight in Washington. He will tie Mike Liut for the most games played by a goalie in Blues history with 347. Last November, when Binnington passed Liut for most wins (152), the ex-Blues goalie penned this tribute ...
