Blues Make Significant Line Changes After Back To Back Shutouts

St. Louis Blues head coach Jim Montgomery has revamped the team's forward lines and defensive pairings ahead of Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins. The decision follows consecutive shutout losses at home, leaving St. Louis with a record under .500 through 12 games. Montgomery noted that lack of offensive production from top units prompted the reorganization across the top-three lines.

The new combinations move Dylan Holloway and Connor McMichael to the third line alongside Dalibor Dvorsky, while Jake Neighbours and Jimmy Snuggerud flank Robert Thomas on the first line. Additionally, Joel Hofer is set to start in goal against Boston, continuing to take the majority of starts over Jordan Binnington.
