Blues Get Crushed by the Blackhawks AGAIN | Ft. Robert Thomas, Jim Montgomery + More

The St. Louis Blues suffered a brutal 7–3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in a game that quickly unraveled due to poor special teams and defensive breakdowns. Despite early momentum and a first-period goal, the Blues went 0-for-5 on the power play while Chicago capitalized on three of four chances, turning the game into a lopsided affair. The lone bright spot of the night was rookie Otto Stenberg, who scored his first NHL goal with a crafty takeaway and finish, while Nathan Walker also found the net in his return to the lineup. Postgame reactions reflected frustration and disappointment, with Robert Thomas, Otto Stenberg, and head coach Jim Montgomery all pointing to net-front presence and special teams as major issues. Montgomery stressed that Jordan Binnington isn’t the problem, noting breakdowns in coverage and screens in front of the net. The episode also featured live locker room interviews from Luke Slabaugh in Chicago and a passionate breakdown of the team’s ongoing struggles, raising tough questions about urgency, confidence, and whether the Blues need significant changes moving forward as they head into a difficult back-to-back road set in Utah and Vegas.
