Monty on Mailloux: "Yeah, I think he had a good tour of duty there in Springfield. He feels good about his game, got a lot of touches, got a lot of minutes. Now he's excited. You can tell just by the way he's skating out there and the smile on his face." #stlblues

Mailloux on return from @ThunderbirdsAHL:
"Nobody wants to get sent down, but, no, I think it was good for me to play some minutes and play in all situations, just kind of get my feel back and my touch back. I'm happy to get back and get going." #stlblues

Monty on Sundqvist sitting, whether it's his play, load management or get Bjugstad back in the lineup: "It's a combination of a lot of things. Most importantly we can't have guys sit on the sideline that long. You know, Sunny, sometimes it is load management." #stlblues

Looks like Neighbours will be with Thomas/Snuggerud.
"We had success in the half a game we played together (in Detroit)," he said. "I think the three of us, what each of us brings, it's a good combination, and I think it blends together pretty well. I'm excited and ready to go." #stlblues

Monty on Neighbours: "It's good news. He was our leading goal scorer when he left the lineup. The character, all that stuff, it really matters to the little things that make up real success in a locker room, on the bench and on the ice."

Neighbours' return tonight is a few days ahead of schedule. Monty said the earliest Neighbours was expected to be back was Saturday against NYI and it could've been the end of the road trip Wednesday against NJ. #stlblues

Monty on OT goal: "We doubled up in the corner (with Buchnevich/Broberg on Tavares) and we weren't able to win the battle. I know it's a high-end player (Tavares) but we've got to win the battle. We had won a lot of battles during the game and that was one that cost us the game."
