Three keys for the #stlblues 6-3 win against the #habs on Saturday include Jordan Kyrou's affect on both ends of the ice, Blues d-men are not getting hemmed in and team's ultra aggressive style is paying off, translating to more offense: https://t.co/oa9oDM0dVJ

Kyrou on 9 SOG tonight: "Tons of chances. We're playing aggressive, we're playing fast, we're playing smart. You get chances when all that happens." #stlblues
Berube on Kyrou (9 shots vs. MTL tonight: "I thought he had it going against New Jersey, too, just with his skating. He's jumping and skating and attacking. He's ready to play." #stlblues
Berube: "There's a better flow for sure, and I think that's just from playing on your toes and being more aggressive. Not thinking so much, but going, doing your job. There's going to be mistakes, but I'd rather it be aggressive." #stlblues
Berube: "I think we're doing a much better job of shooting first, thinking about shooting first and then getting to the net." #stlblues
Berube: "We've got to go into every game and outwork the other team. That's really what our message is. We have skill and the skill will come through. But we've got to put the work in, and we did that for these two games (wins against New Jersey and Montreal)." #stlblues
Berube: "We've got to go into every game and outwork the other team. That's really what our message is. We want to be that type of team. We have skill. The skill will come through, but we've got to put the work in and we did that for these two games." #stlblues
Craig Berube: "Right from the get-go, I thought we were skating again, aggressive, putting pucks deeper and going to work. Hard work and competitiveness in these two games were really, really good." #stlblues
The Blues won, 6-3. They are 5-4-1. A necessary night for both Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou.
final: #stlblues 6, #habs 3 ... two wins in two days; Kyrou, Schenn each goal, two assists; Saad goal, assist; Toropchenko SHG key moment. Season-high six goals. Hofer with 29 saves. Blues are 5-4-1 with Winnipeg up next on Tuesday.
After two periods, Kyrou is up to 9 SOG. What's impressive about his attempts directed at the net tonight is that he hasn't had any blocked and he's only missed one. So nine of his 10 attempts have been on net. #stlblues
Jordan Kyrou has nine shots on goal through two periods. The Blues franchise record is 13, accomplished by Al MacInnis in 1997, Brendan Shanahan in 1994, and Brett Hull in 1991.
After two, #stlblues lead #habs 3-2. Shots are 25-22 in favor of STL.
Kyrou just had his ninth shot on goal. There's 4 min left in the second. #stlblues
Turnover by the #stlblues, Gallagher makes it 3-2
Schenn had the good pressure forecheck at the center ice line along the wall, gets puck to Kyrou for 2 on 1, feed to Saad for one-timer top shelf. #stlblues
Jordan Kyrou has eight shots on goal tonight. He's been very active chasing pucks, and willing to let them go.
The Blues have 21 shots tonight. Kyrou has eight of them. #stlblues
After one, #stlblues lead #habs 2-1. Shots are 13-9 in favor of STL.
On the St. Louis goal, great sequence for the Blues. First a chance by Colton Parayko, then a chance by Brayden Schenn, who ultimately sets up Kyrou. https://t.co/PCsIm1NjlD
Schenn misses the breakaway chance but retrieves his puck in the corner, terrific slot pass to Kyrou on the doorstep, who's been getting a ton of Grade A chances. All came after Matheson turned puck over for #habs to lead rush. #stlblues
That's a great job by Schenn sticking with the play. He's on a breakaway, looking for his first goal of the season and shoots high and wide. But he tracks down the puck and hits Kyrou in stride at the net, 1-0. #stlblues

Adam Pelech is on the ice ahead of #Isles morning skate. You can exhale now. He looks completely fine. We’ll see if we get an update.

Kyrou just can't seem to put one of those breakaways in the back of the net. That was a partial one there, but a good chance. #stlblues
Jordan Kyrou needs a goal badly. Just misses on a prime chance on his backhand, slams the bench door in frustration.
Kyrou off the right edge with speed, pushes a shot wide. At some point, some of these Grade A chances he's getting have to go in. #stlblues
After one, #stlblues and #NJDevils no score. Shots are 11-7 STL. Hughes left the game after taking hit from Buchnevich on NJ power play. Something to keep an eye on.
