ST. LOUIS — In this season of firsts for the Maple Leafs, it’s remarkable that it took 49 games before they lost a third consecutive game in regulation. That’s the uncharted territory the Leafs find themselves in after losing 5-1 on Thursday night at the Scottrade Center against a St. Louis Blues team that played desperate hockey in Mike Yeo’s first game as head coach. Toronto, which continues its trip in Boston on Saturday, fell further away from a playoff spot. You have to get your mind in gear, you have to get your game right and you have to play harder. “If anything we have that much more motivation going into a big game against a team in the division.
