Robert Thomas shooting and scoring more is a positive trend for the Blues. #stlblues https://t.co/baOvQVZOco
There's still 10 minutes left in this one, but I'm curious ... what are Blues fans making of the past two games against New Jersey and Montreal? The D has been good and the offense is starting to come around. Thoughts? #stlblues
Kevin Hayes had a three-point night in Blues’ 4-1 win over New Jersey and carried on his goal-scoring tradition honoring his late brother Jimmy. #stlblues https://t.co/xDcyZV1nfE
Berube on Hayes: “He was moving his feet tonight, strong on pucks, real good middle support by him tonight. Face-offs we’re good. I thought he had a solid game.” #stlblues
Berube: “I thought that we started the game really well … skating, pressure, forechecking, shot the puck, really liked our pace in the period. Overall, a real good effort by everybody.” #stlblues
Kevin Hayes with a three-point night (two goals, one assist) in Blues' 4-1 win over Devils.
Hayes with the empty-netter, 3-1. Aside from the two goals, he played his best game as a Blue tonight. Very noticeable. #stlblues
To me, the Blues are playing a lot more assertive, aggressive and physical tonight. Hits aren't always a great stat, but the Blues are leading the Devils 25-6 in that department at the moment. #stlblues
Hayes' goal is exactly what Berube was talking about this morning. - Win the face-off (Hayes does) - Shoot the puck (Vrana bomb) - Get in front (Leddy/Hayes are) Simple as that, and Blues are finally doing it. #stlblues
Hayes with his first goal as a Blue. The offense has been in front of the net a lot more tonight ... 2-0. #stlblues
On their two PPs tonight, the Blues have SIX shots on goal. That may not sound like a lot to those who haven't been watching the Blues this season, but that's a week's worth. #stlblues
Robert Thomas pulls the Blues within a goal. He fires a shot past Prosvetov from the slot. 2-1
Robert Thomas cuts to the middle and snipes. Big goal to give the Blues ... anything. 2-1, Avs.
The Blues have given up the game's first goal in six of their eight games. #stlblues
