The St. Louis Blues defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 in the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, marking the Blues' third victory in the event. St. Louis defenseman Cam Fowler celebrated his 1,000th NHL game with two goals.
CHICAGO (AP) — St. Louis coach Jim Montgomery walked around before Tuesday night's Winter Classic . He looked at the growing crowd soaking in the festive atmosphere. He thought about all the famous ballplayers who played at Wrigley Field. “And here we are getting to play an NHL hockey game,” Montgomery said. “It's just really cool.” The Winter Classic returned to Wrigley on the final day of 2024, and the Chicago Blackhawks threw quite a party.
