After Saturday night’s loss, it was expected that some adjustments be made before tonight’s game against the Blackhawks. Jake Neighbours takes a seat in the box, but Craig Berube makes it clear that it’s an opportunity to learn, not anything punitive.
“A lot of times with a young guy, the game is really speeding up now, it’s good to watch a game and get a reset button a little bit. That’s all it is for Jake,” Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. “It’s been a tough couple games the way the games have gone. I’ve shortened the bench early in games and he hasn’t gotten the opportunity.
