Blues coach Jim Montgomery plays head games with the Jets before Game 3

The St. Louis Blues have their backs up against the wall.

They're down 2-0 to the Winnipeg Jets in their opening round playoff series with Game 3 set for Enterprise Center in St. Louis this evening. Obviously, the Blues need to avoid going down 3-0 in the series and so head coach Jim Montgomery is playing every card he has in an effort to give his team an advantage.

When asked about his lineup for tonight's pivotal game, Montgomery played coy and told reporters that they'd have to wait for game time to see his roster.

Smart move.

No sense in giving your opponent a freebie... especially when you're down 2-0.
