Leafs vs Blues: Berube's Revenge

0:00On March 28th, the Toronto Maple Leafs head to St. Louis to face the blues on Saturday night, with coach Craig Barubi eyeing a win against the team. That fired him back in 2023. They're riding high off back-to-back victories, including a 4-3 thriller over the New York Rangers on Wednesday, bringing some much-needed energy as the season wraps up. Joseph Wool could be the key again if they make it three in a row. He stone-walled 40 shots against the Rangers, controlling rebounds like a pro, and keeping the defense calm. Captain John Tavares praised him for stopping chaos before it started. Barubi might stick with the hot hand over Anthony Stolarz, especially with a tough schedule ahead. Meanwhile, forward Benoit, Olivier Groose, got sent back to the Toronto Marlies. Don't call it a demotion. It's smart planning for their A.H.L. playoff push, avoiding waiver headaches.

He comes from the University of St. Thomas with six goals, and six assists in 38 games this season. He'll finish up with the Marlies on Tryout before his pro-contract kicks in next year, another solid pipeline ad. Pride's on the line for Barubi after the Blues beat him 4-2 in his first return. With the Leafs pushing hard these final weeks, expect some fire in this match up to carry them forward. I'm Cory with the story. That's your NHL News-Today update, AI-powered, and always on.
