By his own admission Saturday, Jordan Kyrou hasn't been scoring as often as he'd like to.
The St. Louis Blues forward, who came into Saturday's 3-2 shootout win against the Minnesota Wild with just one goal in 12 games, broke through with his first multi-point game since Feb. 22 when he had a goal and an assist. He then scored the shootout winner in the fourth round, just his third shootout goal in 15 career attempts.
Blues player to watch vs. Ducks: Jordan Kyrou (2:01)
"It feels nice for sure," Kyrou said of scoring. "Definitely feel like my game's been struggling a bit lately to score. It feels good."
With the Blues sitting four points behind the Vegas Golden Knights for the second wild card in the Western Conference and riding a three-game winning streak, it's time for Kyrou to get hot, and he has 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 16 games against tonight's opponent, the Anaheim Ducks.
The balance for the Blues needs to be spread out for sure, but Kyrou is paid the big bucks to produce, and with the importance of these games, it's time to step into the limelight; he has that chance to build on it tonight.
