VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Pius Suter and Pavel Buchnevich scored in
a 1:19 span in the second period and the St. Louis Blues beat the NHL-worst
Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday to end a two-game losing streak.
St. Louis is six points behind Nashville for the final wild-card playoff berth
in the Western Conference. The Blues have are 7-1-2 in their last 10.
Jordan Kyrou scored into an empty net on a power play with 48 seconds left to
seal it. Jordan Binnington stopped 14 shots for St. Louis, allowing only
defenseman Filip Hronek's third-period goal on a power play.
Kevin Lankinen made 18 saves for the Canucks.
Suter, a former Vancouver player, opened the scoring midway through the second
period. Lankinen stopped Robert Thomas' shot but the puck hit Suter and went
into the net.
Just over a minute later, Buchnevich took a shot from above the faceoff circle
that found an empty corner of the net past a diving Lankinen.
