Game Highlights


The game began with an early lead by the Blues, scoring once in the first period but failing to capitalize further despite numerous attempts. The Golden Knights responded with two goals in the first period and added one more in each of the subsequent periods, including an empty-net goal that sealed their victory.


The Blues' effort was evident through their aggressive playstyle which resulted in 29 hits compared to the Golden Knights' 15. However, this physicality did not translate into goals as they managed only two from seventeen shots on goal.


Jordan Kyrou stood out for the Blues with one goal on two shots, maintaining a positive plus-minus rating and showcasing his skill without drawing any penalties throughout his nearly twenty minutes on ice.


Player Performances


Robert Thomas also made significant contributions for St. Louis with one goal from just two shots, demonstrating efficiency but unfortunately ending with a minus-one rating due to being on ice for opposing goals.


On defense, Justin Faulk contributed an assist and maintained an even plus-minus rating while engaging physically with three hits during his substantial time on ice.


Despite these individual efforts, it was not enough to overcome a determined Vegas team led by Mark Stone and Pavel Dorofeyev who were among the stars of the game thanks to their critical roles in securing this win for their team.


Looking ahead, fans can catch more action as St. Louis hosts Dallas Stars at Enterprise Center on January 25th at 7:00 PM EDT. This upcoming match promises excitement and will be available for viewing across various platforms including ESPN+, Victory+, and FDSMW networks.
