My player to watch for the St. Louis Blues against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday is forward Jake Neighbours.
There has been an uptick in the forward's play as of late, and the coaching staff has taken notice of his hard work by thrusting him up in the lineup tonight against the Arizona Coyotes to play with Brandon Saad and Brayden Schenn.
"I don't think I'm going to try and change too much," Neighbours told reporters. "I think I've been playing well. Just go out there and try and create space for them, be hard on the forecheck, create turnovers and get the puck into their hands. Two guys that obviously do a lot for our team. They're pretty impact players for our team. Just try and complement them well."
Neighbours has goals in back-to-back games for the first time in his NHL career and has three goals on the month; he has an assist in four career games against the Coyotes and will look to keep the momentum moving upward closing out this four-game road trip on the right note.
