Fri May 02 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Blues Fight for Survival in Must-Win Game 6 Against Jets
**ST. LOUIS, MO** – The St. Louis Blues face a do-or-die situation tonight as they host the Winnipeg Jets in Game 6 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series at Enterprise Center. A loss would eliminate the Blues, while a victory would force a decisive Game 7. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. CT, and the game will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network, TNT, TruTV, Max, and 101 ESPN.
Coming off a Game 5 loss, Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery plans to maintain a largely unchanged lineup. A key change sees forward Mathieu Joseph returning to the third line, replacing Alexandre Texier after a four-game absence. Montgomery praised Joseph’s tenacity, speed, and ability to create turnovers. The coach also acknowledged the toll of playoff injuries on both teams, emphasizing the importance of team identity and a “pack of wolves” mentality over individual performances.
Defenseman Tyler Tucker remains day-to-day and did not practice Friday morning after leaving Game 4 with an injury. The Blues’ projected lineup features the forward combinations of Buchnevich-Thomas-Snuggerud, Neighbours-Schenn-Kyrou, Joseph-Sundqvist-Bolduc, and Walker-Faksa-Toropchenko, with the defensive pairings of Parayko-Fowler, Faulk-Broberg, and Suter-Leddy. The Blues will need a strong performance from all lines to keep their season alive.
