Blues 2020 first-round pick continues to shine, scored team-leading 26th goal Thursday, has nine points in past eight games
ST. LOUIS -- Jake Neighbours continues to produce and is elevating those around him.
Just ask St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich.
"He's a young guy that wants to learn every time, listen and do it," Buchnevich said. "It's easy to play (with him). It's good to see from young guys. He's made a big jump this year. You can see he works every day in practices and in the gym every time. It's paid off and I'm really happy for him."
Neighbours continues to shine and will look to do the same on Saturday when the Blues (39-30-4) host the San Jose Sharks (16-48-8).
Neighbours had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win against the Calgary Flames on Thursday giving the forward nine points (six goals, three assists) the past eight games, including his team-leading 26th goal and 20th in the slot/high danger area.
Since his recent jump up to the line with Buchnevich and Robert Thomas, he's shown his value no matter where he plays in the lineup and can do so again here tonight.
