Greaves stopped 17 of 18 shots in the third period to hold off a late push by the Blues.<\/p>\n
Zach Werenski scored for the third straight game and an assist, and Charlie Coyle and Sean Monahan each had goals for the Blue Jackets (7-4-0), who have won six of seven.<\/p>\n
Justin Faulk and Nick Bjugstad scored, and Joel Hofer made 32 saves for the Blues (3-7-2), who have lost seven straight (0-5-2).<\/p>\n
Faulk put St. Louis ahead 1-0 at 3:37 of the first period. Oskar Sundqvist sent a cross-ice pass from the left boards to Faulk in the right circle, who beat Greaves with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n
Coyle evened it 1-1 at 4:38 by jabbing a loose puck in the crease off the right skate of Faulk. Coyle had four assists vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Werenski made it 2-1 at 11:55 of the second period with a shot from the right dot that went through the legs of Blues defenseman Philip Broberg.<\/p>\n
Monahan scored on the power play at 5:07 of the third period to increase the lead to 3-1. He tapped in the rebound of a Werenski shot from the point that dropped in the crease after it hit the left post. The goal was Monahan’s 600th NHL point (264 goals, 336 assists).<\/p>\n
Bjugstad cut the deficit to 3-2 at 9:48 on the rush.
