Blues Forward Jordan Kyrou Suffers Injury Ruled Out for Rest of Game Against Senators
The St. Louis Blues faced a tough setback in their recent matchup against the Ottawa Senators when forward Jordan Kyrou suffered a lower-body injury. The incident occurred just 2:52 into the first period as Kyrou was hit by Senators forward Stephen Halliday.
Incident Details
Following the hit, Kyrou appeared to be favoring his left knee. Blues head athletic trainer Ray Barile attended to him on the ice, and he required assistance to exit the rink, limping down the tunnel. This injury is particularly significant as Kyrou is currently the team’s leading scorer, having netted eight goals this season.
Game Overview
During the first period, the game remained scoreless, but the Blues struggled to maintain offensive pressure. They were outshot 15-2 and went nearly 20 minutes without a shot on goal. This difficulty was exacerbated by having to kill off four minor penalties, including a double-minor for high-sticking by Robert Thomas on Brady Tkachuk.
Current Roster Challenges
- Jordan Kyrou – Injured (status questionable for Sunday)
- Jimmy Snuggerud – Wrist injury
- Alexey Toropchenko – Leg burns
- Nathan Walker – Upper body injury
Kyrou’s early exit raises concerns for the Blues’ upcoming match against the Montreal Canadiens. His status for that game remains uncertain as the team deals with multiple injuries.
As the Blues continue their season, they will need to adapt quickly in the face of these challenges. Fans will be hoping for swift recoveries and a strong performance in the next matchup.
