My St. Louis Blues player to watch against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday is forward Jordan Kyrou.
The Blues have 33 games remaining in the season, and they currently hold one of two wild card spots in the Western Conference.
Player to watch vs. Sabres: Jordan Kyrou (; 1:21)
For them to maintain that stance and possibly even gain more traction, Kyrou needs to be a factor from an offensive standpoint more so than he's been. Especially from a goal-scoring department.
Kyrou has 37 points in 49 games this season, but he has just 14 goals after scoring a career-best 37 last season.
If the Blues are going to be relevant in the playoff race down the stretch, Kyrou has to be one of the key contributors, and he's a point per game player against the Sabres in seven games (three goals, four assists). This would be a good spot to kick off the post All-Star schedule and get the Blues off on the right foot.
