moneypuck.com<\/a>. Montgomery said that the coaching staff \u201creally liked\u201d what they saw in Mailloux\u2019s performance last season.<\/p>\n\u201cWe saw a young man get his NHL confidence, playing on his toes and you see that in the three-on-three goal, him being in that area, snapping it quickly, not looking to defer and find somebody else with the puck \u2013 that\u2019s a confident young man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Defenseman Brandon Carlo was traded to the Blues from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for the Nos. 73 and 76 overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft. Carlo recorded seven points, 37 penalty minutes and averaged 19:22 time-on-ice in 55 games played with Toronto last season.<\/p>\n
Carlo was paired with Cam Fowler on the Blues third defensive pairing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis defensive stick always takes away the most dangerous option, which is the middle of the ice, and then with his feet, he\u2019s very similar to [Parayko\u2019s] \u2013 they\u2019re so big and long and skate well,\u201d Montgomery said. \u201cThey take away time and space on you and you think you have time and all of a sudden it\u2019s a turnover because of their stick.\u201d<\/p>\n
The full defensive lineup for Group A on Thursday was:<\/p>\n
Philip Broberg – Logan Mailloux<\/p>\n
Theo Lindstein – Colton Parayko<\/p>\n
