Kyrou leads Blues past Wild 5-1 with hat trick

Jordan Kyrou led the St. Louis Blues to a decisive 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild, scoring three goals to achieve his fifth career hat trick. Brayden Schenn contributed with a goal and an assist, while Jake Neighbours also found the net, helping the Blues secure their third win in five games. The game saw Joel Hofer making 17 saves, and the Blues improved to 7-2-1 in their last ten matches, positioning themselves just two points behind the Western Conference's second wild card. Meanwhile, the Wild suffered their fourth loss in five games, despite Jake Middleton scoring their only goal. Kyrou's performance marks him as the third St. Louis player to record four consecutive seasons with 25 or more goals, joining notable players Brett Hull and Vladimir Tarasenko. The Blues are looking to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next match against Anaheim.
