Blues Look to Extend Point Streak Against Ailing Rangers

NEW YORK – The St. Louis Blues (7-9-6) aim to keep their momentum rolling tonight as they face the New York Rangers (10-11-2) at Madison Square Garden. The Blues are currently on a five-game road trip and have earned points in the last three games, including a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday.

“We’ve been resilient, we keep believing,” said Blues coach Jim Montgomery, emphasizing the team’s focus on consistent play.

Montgomery is shaking up the lineup, bringing in Oskar Sundqvist and recalling defenseman Logan Mailloux from Springfield. Goaltender Joel Hofer will get the start after Jordan Binnington’s stellar performance against the Islanders. Mailloux’s return is highly anticipated after a productive stint in the AHL.

“I think it was good for me to play some minutes and play in all situations, just kind of get my feel back and my touch back,” said Mailloux.

A focal point for the Blues will be the line of Brayden Schenn, Pavel Buchnevich, and rookie Dalibor Dvorsky. This line has shown promise, with Schenn scoring his first goal in 12 games on Saturday. The team hopes to spark Buchnevich who hasn’t scored in 14 games.

The New York Rangers, however, are struggling on home ice (1-7-1) and battling a significant injury list. Key players like J.T. Miller, Jonathan Quick, Will Borgen, and Matt Rempe are sidelined, and Vincent Trocheck is questionable. Igor Shesterkin is expected to start in goal for the Rangers.

The puck drops at 6 p.m. CT, with coverage on FDSNMW and ESPN 101.1-FM.
