Forward extended point streak to four games, scored first two goals during four-goal first period for Blues in 5-2 win over Blackhawks
ST. LOUIS -- Those first two shots that resulted in goals by Jordan Kyrou are a clear indication of where the St. Louis Blues forward's confidence level is at right right now.
Kyrou got the ball rolling on a Blues blitzkrieg that resulted in four goals on four shots to start the game in a 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday at Enterprise Center.
Kyrou now has seven points (four goals, three assists) in a four-game point streak and took over the team lead with goal nos. 28 and 29 on the season and has nine goals the past 13 games.
"I just feel more confident lately," Kyrou said. "Just my compete away from the puck. Just winning battles and competing hard, skating hard away from the puck and then the rest kind of just happens."
When Kyrou is mindful away from the puck, good things happen when he gets it, and right now, good things are happening, and the shot is instinctual again.
"He's shooting the puck really well," Blues interim coach Drew Bannister said of Kyrou. "He's found a lot of space out there, he's using his speed. It was a good game for him.
"I think overall, over the past three or four games, he's been real competitive. Obviously he's feeling real confident in his game right now."
Kyrou finished tied with Brayden Schenn with four shots on goal on 10 attempts in 17:12 and was a plus-2.
"I think for me, it's always been like this the past couple years," Kyrou said. 'I find when my game's not going well, I've got to kind of go back to basics and keep it simple, play strong without the puck and then everything with the puck happens."
