Brown had two goals in La Victoria, both in McDavid assists.
Blues chief coach Jim Montgomery, lamented not being able to obtain coverage in McDavid.
“We did not do a job good enough covering McDavid, and we did not do a job good enough to protect our net front. The battle of the network was the difference tonight,” he said, through NHL.com. “We have demonstrated here from the 4 nations that we are a team that will simply continue. And I love our group.
