Jordan Kyrou scored twice for the St. Louis Blues, including a power play goal that gave his team a 2-1 lead over the New York Rangers. Kyrou's first goal tied the game at 1-1, assisted by Robert Thomas, and his second, a power play goal, marked the Blues' first go-ahead power play goal of the season in game number 40. The Rangers had initially taken the lead with a 'crazy wraparound spina-o-rama' goal from Adam Fox, who executed a spinning move to score off a rebound, despite Jordan Binnington making two saves. Kyrou's performance, particularly on the power play, could be pivotal for the Blues' playoff chances as it was his 10th goal of the season, compared to 20 at this point last year.
Kyrou again! And on the power play!!! #stlblues Watch on the Bally Sports app, brought to you by @BommaritoAuto. https://t.co/bNd9ERwHhT
#NYR allow another goal off the rush... Blues come down on the power play and Jordan Kyrou scores his second of the game to give #STLBlues a 2-1 lead
Bump. #stlblues https://t.co/h31XtJ6XNC
And in Game 40, its the first time the #stlblues PP gives them a lead in a game.
Where has that power play been? Kyrou to Thomas to Buchnevich to Kyrou for the tap-in, 2-1. #stlblues
Jordan Kyrou scores again. This time on the power play. Blues 2-1 Rangers.

Kyrou again. PPG. STL 2, #NYR 1. https://t.co/GNV5RCaKaf
Tic tac Kyrou on the power play. That's the Blues' first go-ahead power play goal of the season. 2-1, Blues.
That's Kyrou's 10th goal of the season. This is Game No. 40, and at this point last year, Kyrou had 20 of his 37 goals. It would be huge for the Blues in the second half, as far as their playoff chances, if he got hot. #stlblues
Kyrou evens it up, 1-1. Armstrong said on BK & Ferrario @101espn a couple days ago that Thomas is one of the top-five passers in the league, and he shows it there, hitting Kyrou in stride driving to the net. #stlblues
Thomas carries puck down the left wing, finds Kyrou in the seam and quick shot. Before that, Kyrou had taken a check but dusts himself off to get back in the play. #stlblues
A trailing Jordan Kyrou gets the puck and scores from the top of the right faceoff circle to tie it up, 1-1... #NYR
