Jordan Kyrou will make his return to the lineup as the St. Louis Blues prepare to face the Seattle Kraken on November 8. The matchup will take place at 6 p.m. at Enterprise Center, marking the beginning of a four-game homestand for the Blues.
Recent Performance and Lineup Changes
The Blues recently secured a victory against the Buffalo Sabres, winning 3-0. This came after a disappointing loss to the Washington Capitals. Notably, Kyrou was absent from the game against the Sabres due to performance-related decisions made by Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery.
Montgomery emphasized the importance of each player fulfilling their roles. “When you don’t live up to your standard, you risk the chance of coming out of the lineup,” he stated regarding the decision to rest Kyrou.
Expected Lineup for the Game Against Seattle
For the upcoming game, Kyrou will skate on the top line alongside Brayden Schenn and Robert Thomas. Oskar Sundqvist and Logan Mailloux are likely to remain out of the lineup, as they also did not participate in the previous game.
Goaltending Decision
Joel Hofer is slated to start in goal for the match against Seattle. Montgomery supports this decision, citing Hofer’s impressive performance during the shutout against Buffalo. “He got a shutout, he played great, he’s the No. 1 reason why we won,” Montgomery remarked. Hofer’s solid performance merits another start as the Blues aim to build momentum.
