This is the Bears’ 10th defeat this season, and they played 18 matches in the tournament. Recently, Jim Montgomery’s team has been alternating between successful and unsuccessful matches. The Bears are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference table, and are eight points behind first place.
The St. Louis Blues
In the 2024/2025 season, the “musicians” played 17 matches, won seven victories and scored 15 points. St. Louis is in 12th place in the Western Conference table. Drew Bannister’s team played their last meeting in the regular season on the road and lost to Buffalo with a score of 3:4 OT. Russian Pavel Buchnevich scored a goal and won 67% of faceoffs. But Alexey Toropchenko left the ice without any effective actions, but at the same time made two shots on target. Things haven’t been easy for the Blues lately – four defeats in a row.
