Overview
- With 1:33 remaining, a Noah Hanifin turnover in the neutral zone sprung a 2-on-1 that ended with Brayden Schenn burying a rebound after Carter Hart stopped Jimmy Snuggerud’s shot.
- St. Louis’ fourth line provided a spark, as Alexey Toropchenko and Oskar Sundqvist each recorded a goal and an assist and Mathieu Joseph added two assists, helping snap the Blues’ two-game skid.
- Vegas scored first and rallied from a 3-1 deficit to tie on goals by Keegan Kolesar, Mark Stone and Pavel Dorofeyev before conceding the late winner.
- Jack Eichel returned after a seven-game absence without a point, while defenseman Brayden McNabb sat out with an upper-body injury that ended his 298-game consecutive-games streak and is considered week-to-week.
- Reports credited Blues goalie Joel (Joe) Hofer with either 21 or 22 saves (the AP lists 22), and Hart finished with 15 stops as Vegas’ recent run includes allowing four or more goals in five of its last eight games.
