Weekend wins showed #stlblues they can win with a more balanced lineup, and a more aggressive approach can lead to more puck possession, more o-zone time and more scoring chances: https://t.co/Kzov3ANGs8
The Blues were outshot in each of their first five games this season and didn't have more than 26 SOG in a single game. They now have 35 SOG in three of their last five games, including both games over the weekend. #stblues

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
Kyrou picking one reason why the Blues have clicked lately: "Just our work ethic and playing for each other, supporting each other. We're playing fast, playing quick, we're making plays. It feels good as a team. We've got back-to-back wins here, so the energy is good right now."
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
