Overview
- Aleksanteri Kaskimaki, Milan Lucic, Robert Thomas and Otto Stenberg scored for St. Louis, with Stenberg converting on the power play.
- Chicago dressed a largely AHL group after recalling eight players and signing three to PTOs from Rockford earlier in the day.
- Blues coach Jim Montgomery cast the night as a chance to “grab a spot,” stressing that Alexandre Texier must show steadier game-to-game consistency.
- Logan Mailloux received a PP1 look in the exhibition, but the Blues expect Cam Fowler and Justin Faulk to quarterback the power play to start the season.
- Next up, the Blues open Oct. 9 against the Wild, the Blackhawks begin Oct. 7 at the Panthers before the Bruins, and the rivals meet again Oct. 15.
