Jordan Binnington made 40 saves, Dylan Holloway scored twice and St. Louis beat Toronto 5-1 on Thursday night, spoiling Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube’s first game against the Blues since they fired him in December.

Alexandre Texier scored his first with the Blues at 7:58 to put them up 3-1. After Buchnevich forced a turnover from Auston Matthews, Jordan Kyrou got to the loose puck in the corner and found Texier just inside the right circle who shot blocker side.

Dylan Holloway scored two goals and the visiting St. Louis Blues defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Wednesday night.

That’s gone now. There’s no more music at Leafs practice. It’s one of many ways practice has changed under Keefe’s replacement, Craig Berube. Keefe-led practices began at noon when the Leafs were in Toronto, and later than that when they were on the road.

Goaltender Joseph Woll is projected to make his season debut tonight, which should give Berube & Co. a boost. The Maple Leafs also have the benefit of several key Blues players missing tonight's game, including Torey Krug (ankle), Robert Thomas (ankle) and Nick Leddy (lower body).

Tonight, the Maple Leafs meet the Blues. Can the team make the right adjustments to win after such a lousy game in Columbus?

"In this game, you have a certain time limit," said Berube, who won the Stanley Cup as Blues coach in 2019 and was fired last season.
