Blues seek scoring response in New Jersey after Rangers end two-game winning run

The Blues head to New Jersey Thursday after a 3–1 loss to the Rangers ended their two-game winning streak and brought them back to .500.
Tuesday’s game in New York turned on rookie goaltender Dylan Garand’s 32 saves. Pius Suter scored in the final minute to spoil the shutout, but St. Louis could not close the gap, Reuters reported.
Thursday’s matchup presents another goaltending challenge. Connor Hellebuyck won his first three appearances after joining the Devils in a trade from Winnipeg, with a 1.95 goals-against average across those games, according to Reuters’ preview.
That is a small sample, but it places the Blues’ search for more offense against a goalie who has started well with his new club.
The game begins at 6 p.m. Central at Prudential Center. The Blues list Blue Note+ and First Alert ABC as viewing options.
A late goal in New York prevented a shutout; the task in New Jersey is to generate enough offense to change the result.
