The St. Louis Blues are gearing up for a crucial rematch against the Boston Bruins on December 9th, seeking revenge for their previous loss. After a challenging road trip, the Blues are determined to turn the tide, having fallen short against the Bruins during their recent away games. The team's head coach, Jim Montgomery, emphasizes the need for improved speed and cohesion, acknowledging Boston's superior performance in their last encounter.
The Blues' recent setbacks have been a source of concern, especially with a string of injuries affecting the team. However, there's a glimmer of hope as Jordan Kyrou, who suffered an injury during a game, is expected to return within a week, providing a boost to the team's morale and lineup.
Despite the challenges, the Blues have shown resilience, securing back-to-back wins in Ottawa and Montreal over the weekend. Coach Montgomery praises the team's intensity, teamwork, and exceptional penalty kill and goaltending performances. He hopes this momentum will carry over into the upcoming match against Boston, where they aim to prove their mettle and secure a much-needed victory.
