NHL Highlights | Blues vs. Sabres – February 10, 2024

The first game for the blues since January 30th a long Allstar break the Sabers have played a game as they lost back on Tuesday against Dallas 2-1 it is a results oriented business there’s no question so sooner or later it has to translate into wins and I take away by

Neighbors tape the tape across the line C it shot LC able to make the chest save drops it down Skinner Maneuvers his way across the line leaves for aoso R shot save made by hoper the rebound behind the net flipping it out in front on the doorstep aoso just misc connecting with

Tage Thompson and Clifton forced all the way back into the Buffalo end his Outlet knocked down by sunquist he centers one moving in putting it right on the goal line was Walker and somehow it tight roped the paint time and then Puck comes very quickly the other end and it’s a

Pack a pack across a pass across excuse me moved ahead by Rosen sunquist ping pongs it out to the red line across the line tchenko finds the loose Puck to the backand to the forehand that’s off the shoulder of Luc in blue Eric Johnson or check that

There as the slash pardon me from Ryan Johnson and he swung and missed off the feed from kyoo kyou now settles it down Krug hands one off to Thomas down to the Goan neighbors works it out in Fu save LC it the rebound loose cleared by power at

Least in terms of who quarterbacks the power play as Krug is now back with the top unit and Thomas back pedals to the half wall kyoo back to Thomas walks it in back door Scot score on the back hand it’s neighbors a fortunate bounce as they tried to put one through the scam

It ended up right on the backand of neighbors and he roofs it past Lucan for a power play goal and a one- nothing St Louis Lee and that’s what happens here they win the face off they get the uh they get the puck keep the puck in the

Zone and it is it’s a Punky bounce off of a Buffalo Sabers player and J uh Jake neighbors number 63 you can see he’s going in front and then he gets off to the side great timing great placement for him and by the way that’s a backhand

Shot and he tucks it right under the bar that’s a really skilled play plenty of Zone pressure here from Buffalo can they get the puck on net KBS continues to control down low power that shot off the outside of the post right back to Owen power Benson looks to break the other

Way trying to create a numbers Advantage Benson to drag Benson gets buried out in front by Walker look back that last play good good uh job by the Buffalo by Buffalo coming in but by the player here and once again for Buffalo chasing the game that’s been a big problem for

Them they have really struggled in first periods this season yeah they have they’re third worst in goal differential in the first period they come out slow it’s something that they know and points just as precious for St Louis as well wheeler arounder goes wide ofer from Skinner I got to imagine

The message from joh Granado is shoot the puck for the Buffalo Sabers Skinner the Tes Thompson Thompson a little tow drag Thompson out in front on the doorstep score aoso off the feed from Thompson who dangled it right into the slot elated possession time aoso does an excellent

Job he does this on the power play but look at him taking the hits from kessle in front he holds his ground and then you’ve also got Owen Power number 25 on the back door you got that defenseman coming down if you’re the St Louis Blues

And you have got that four Kong attack you got you got to put your head on a swivel and it’s tough to find the guy who scores this is bad luck for St Louis that’s oh his goalie uh rot beer off the draw Johnson to Johnson

That rker off the toe H for able to kick the pad out as Ryan Johnson floated one towards the net defense but in this next play what’s the most important save for a goalie the next one and how’s that one for a stretch just by the toenail and

Then he gets a little help from his defenseman too Tory Krug is there to pick up Jordan cyu away from Greenway deic behind the Ed tries to muscle the puck out in front instead it’s back up high a drive that goes wide from Paro perams all the way around to Rosen Paro

Has it again this time off the end Boards out in front shot scor kyou off a little one touch from B davic and the blues have the lead back he compliments Robert Thomas pavl bich on that Top Line and what I like about this for the St

Louis Blues is they go to work they’re spread out but then they go to the front of the net and they recog by pulling the Sabers out wide they open up that space in the middle from for kyou he’s all alone pretty much right here he takes

His time and he’s able to bury it to either set up buich or maybe get it straight to kyou which he did but Tura centers Fenson on the door step a shot by cousins is stopped by Hofer and this time he is able to control the rebound

Off to Casey middle stat and ahead to Alex tuck middle stack with a drop tuck tow drag tuck to the backand to the forhead and almost tucked it to the left of Hofer Skinner Maneuvers down Broadway Skinner to the back hand drops one off to petka a pass to darene broom for

Middle St scam pass shot by petka scrawling save made by first two in the in the first period however they actually had these chances you can see JJ petka Hees a giveaway though Greenway moving in shorthanded Greenway shoot save made by hoer behind to that Tyo off the Stick of hord Calli Rosen lets it float through to blle ahead is Hayes Banks a pass toad moves inist shot save made by lucity for the lose well look at it he looks up it just sort of throws it in there and good job by sow it’s not an nicing

Call set for the start of the third period a one-goal game and two teams in their respective playoff races desperate for two points taken by Hayes waits for a trailer holds for some help checked by darene he protects the puck there’s one back to the point Paro with a Wier save

Made through traffic by Lucan on the doorstep s puts it off the outside of the net lcan una unware right now and if the if the Buffalo Sabers can come back and tie or win this game mark That’s save right there that’s a huge one he

Stretches full out left to right and I mean I makes I think I pull a muscle just watching him do that but you know you when you’re working this hard as a Buffalo Sabers they’ve been at the other end after it is B navic met by delene protects the puck

Pavic sets up kyou shoots and hits the iron he caught the post to the right of Lucan two goals Out Of Reach here if you look at this shot oh you can hear that post all the way up here what a great shot but still two one kept moving to

Power at the half wall nice takeaway though and an outlet to haes PA that’s off the outside of the post lcan it unaware of where it was Dalene frees up the puck to petka he accelerates middle sta flips it back for petka puns it on net hper was ready and

Guided it over the top of the cage with his stick do to get some energy going but stay out of the Penalty Box so good on them to try to transition really quickly it’s a good clean uh transition and then just a puck for the net look at

This you you you put the puck on net it bounces and then you try to this line I’ve been really impressed with PKA you can see we got some penalties now too two minutes each for roughing on either side but that line of cousins between PKA and Benson is thas servy

Back to crew carries behind the net back to Thomas across kyou off the outside of the post and the that’ss off the mor the officials realize it and blow it down skaters so trying to go rink wide and you can see all the way across oh

Another post you could hear all the way in toiti but that that net comes off it’s moing you know you look at Kyu who’s over there he’s deep he Nick lety sweeps at it and Brandon saw through Center Hayes heads towards the net the trailer is play Hayes off the post again

A onetime snapper not only could you hear it deflects off and then a beautiful set good shot by Gage right there to back out gains the red line gains the Blue Line checked by Ley Middle St gets the puck deep cousins there as well cousins tries to dig it free freed

Up by PKA waiting for it though was Ka room for Shan R shot save made rebound score [Applause] they’ve been playing the same guys they are gas they’re y Yoki Haru is out there and they do have some back pressure power is there but they just can’t quite

Get back here and get D side so even though they’re retrieving it’s a really good work by St Louis take advantage some tired players and a tough rebound we haven’t seen that from lukan in all night all day rather well Drew Bannister told us before the game paig Thompson across the line

Darene one last frustrated swipe at the puck the horn sounds and there is your final 3-1 St Louis a road win here in Buffalo

Jake Neighbours potted a pair of goals and Joel Hofer made 33 saves as the St. Louis Blues topped the Buffalo Sabres 3-1.
