BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Blues forward Jordan Kyrou was a healthy scratch for Thursday night's game at Buffalo as St. Louis coach Jim Montgomery tried to spark improvement from his struggling team.
It worked, as the Blues topped the Sabres, 3-0.
The Blues had been 1-6-2 in their past nine games before the win but improved to 5-9-2 on the season. St. Louis followed a 3-2 win at home against Edmonton with a 6-1 road loss at Washington on Wednesday night.
Montgomery held a mandatory morning skate before playing in the second game of a back-to-back Thursday in Buffalo.
