  • Summary

  • Here’s a recap of the latest Blues Hub Postgame podcast hosted by Jacob Stanoch and Mike Meyer: Recap of the St. Louis Blues' 3-1 Victory Over the Minnesota Wild Jacob and Mike broke down what they called one of the Blues’ most dominant performances of the season, securing a crucial win against a team they had yet to defeat. The victory was significant as it kept the Blues in the heated wildcard race. Key Takeaways from the Game Jordan Kyrou’s Hat Trick: Kyrou was the standout performer, netting three goals, including a wraparound goal, a close-range cleanup, and an empty-netter. This marked his fifth career hat trick, and both hosts emphasized how Kyrou is evolving into a more complete player. Defensive Strength Without Pareko: Despite missing Colton Pareko, the Blues’ defensive core held strong, thanks to key performances from veterans like Cam Fowler, Nick Leddy, and Justin Faulk. The team's ability to limit mistakes and maintain defensive pressure was a major factor in the win. Brayden Schenn’s Impact: Schenn set the tone with an early net-front goal, continuing his leadership both offensively and defensively. Strong Fourth Line Play: The physicality and grinding style of the fourth line (Toropchenko, Walker, and Faksa) played a crucial role in keeping the Wild at bay while also creating scoring opportunities. Statistical Highlights The Blues outshot the Wild 27-18 and dominated faceoffs with a 60.8% win rate. The Blues’ defensive discipline shined, allowing only five shots against in the third period. The Wild edged the Blues in physicality (19 hits to 17), but the Blues' forechecking and positioning minimized high-danger chances. Looking Ahead The Blues now shift focus to their next game against the Anaheim Ducks, which will feature a special ceremony honoring Brayden Schenn’s 1,000th career game. Goaltending decisions remain a discussion point, as Joel Hofer played a solid game, but Mike believes the team may return to Jordan Binnington for the upcoming matchup. The hosts also touched on the wildcard race, noting Vancouver’s win over Chicago, which impacts the standings. Overall, the episode provided an in-depth analysis of the game, highlighted standout performances, and set the stage for the Blues’ upcoming challenges. Learn more about your ad choices.
