Kyrou on Neighbours: "He's been awesome. He's been working his ass off, putting pucks in the net. It's been awesome for him, everyone is happy for him right now, and hopefully he can keep doing that." #stlblues
Kyrou on his play lately (0G, 6A last 8 games): "Obviously I'm not really scoring like I want to right now. But I feel like I'm competing hard and setting up teammates. As long as our team is winning, that's all that matters." #stblues

Berube on Neighbours: "I thought that he had another strong game, being around that net, power play too. He's doing all the little things right and it's paying off for sure." #stlblues
Berube on Kyrou: "I thought he worked, skated, created a couple goals off it for our guys. He was skating and working, competitive. It was really good to see." #stlblues
Kyrou has no goals or even a shot on goal but has been really good tonight. Changed the game around with those two assists in a 24-second span. #stlblues
Kyrou had Luukkonen pulled out of the crease so far on Schenn's goal, the Sabres goalie was nearly on Manchester. #stlblues
Schenn and Kyrou get a stick in on Samuelsson, it gets tipped for a turnover, Kyrou feeds Hayes for the net front redirection, then Kyrou flying into the zone, wheels and finds Schenn in the slot, all speed off the left side. #stlblues
Samuelsson turns it over to Kyrou who finds Hayes for the layup, then, everyone lost coverage and Kyrou finds Schenn, 5-3 St.L.
And Kyron finds Schenn with UPL out of position and all of a sudden it's 5-3. Two goals in 24 seconds. Woof. #Sabres
Kyrou is having a night. #stlblues

Jordan Kyrou with an excellent shift and draws a minor on the play. tripping on Greenway at 4:56. #stlblues
The Blues need Jordan Kyrou. He submits a great shift there, poised in the d-zone to get out, generates a chance off the rush, and then draws a penalty.
And then UPL flubs one off the faceoff by Saad three seconds later and #Sabres trail 1-0 at 1:08. Oooof
