ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Nathan Walker scored the game-winning goal and Oskar
Sundqvist added two assists, lifting the St. Louis Blues to a 3-2 victory over
the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
The Blues improved to 6-8-3, good for 15 points. The Flames fell to 4-12-2,
good for 10 points.
Jordan Binnington registered 38 saves in his fourth win in 12 games. Binnington
had been pulled in the second period in his previous start against the Capitals
giving up four goals on 15 shots, including Alex Ovechkin's historic 900th
career goal.
Dustin Wolf recorded 28 saves as he fell to 0-4-0 in his career against St.
Louis.
Dylan Holloway and Matthew Kessel also scored for St. Louis.
Calgary, which was shut out in its two previous games, got second-period goals
from Matt Coronato and Rasmus Andersson.
The Blues have won eight consecutive games against the Flames --- their
second-longest active streak against any opponent.
Holloway tipped a shot by Justin Faulk past Wolf at 10:59 of the first period
for a power-play goal and a 1-0 lead.
St. Louis made it 2-0 when Kessel hit a wrist shot from the right circle at
13:43. He took a cross-ice pass from Sundqvist and scored his first goal of the
season and second in his career.
Walker tapped in a loose puck at 7:20 of the second period, extending the Blues
lead to 3-0.
Calgary scored two goals in 25 seconds to make it 3-2 in the second period. The
Flames ended their scoreless streak at 154.53 when Coronato beat Binnington
over his shoulder with a snap shot at 14:04.
The Flames then added a goal on a high wrist shot by Andersson at 14:29.
