Blues Bench Jordan Kyrou for Sabres Game

The reported move signals a message after a 6–1 loss to Washington, with trade talk constrained by his new full no‑trade clause.

Overview

  • Local radio and The Fourth Period report that head coach Jim Montgomery will make Kyrou a healthy scratch against Buffalo.
  • Oskar Sundqvist is also expected to sit, with Alexandre Texier, Mathieu Joseph and Matthew Kessel drawing in, per reports.
  • Kyrou has four goals and eight points through 14 games, tying him for second on the team in scoring this season.
  • St. Louis has opened 4–8–2, with MoneyPuck data citing poor save percentages for Jordan Binnington (.859) and Joel Hofer (.836).
  • Trade speculation surfaced following the scratch, though a full no‑trade clause through 2029–30 and an $8.125 million cap hit complicate any deal.
