Blues Defeat Maple Leafs 5-1

The St. Louis Blues defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1, with Dylan Holloway scoring twice and Jordan Binnington making 41 saves. This game marked the first time Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube faced his former team since being fired by the Blues in December 2023. Other goals for St. Louis came from Philip Broberg, Alexandre Texier, and Jake Neighbours, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored Toronto's lone goal. Toronto's Joseph Woll, making his first start after a groin injury, stopped 22 shots but struggled with the team's power play, which went 0 for 3 in the game. The Blues played without Robert Thomas, who is out for at least six weeks due to a broken ankle. Both teams are looking to improve as they head into their next matchups, with Toronto facing the Boston Bruins and St. Louis taking on the Montreal Canadiens.
