The St. Louis Blues had a solid offensive performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs, losing 3-2 in overtime. The first 30 or so minutes of the game were not ideal, but this team rallied to put together a solid second half of the game to steal a point in the first game of their five-game road trip.
There was a lowlight in this one, and it has been a lowlight for the entire first quarter of the 2025-26 season. Pavel Buchnevich, who was moved down from the top-six to the third line, had another lackluster performance.
