Tyler Tucker<\/a>, Otto Stenberg<\/a> and Nathan Walker<\/a> scored for the Blues (17-19-8), who had won two in a row. Jordan Binnington<\/a> made 28 saves.<\/p>\n

The Blackhawks were 3-for-4 on the powerplay. The Blues were 0-for-5.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really came down to special teams tonight,\u201d St. Louis forward Robert Thomas<\/a> said. “They scored on their power plays, and we didn\u2019t on ours, especially early. We had three there in the first period. It\u2019s a good chance to get our momentum. We couldn\u2019t capitalize.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally frustrating. We all felt like we were turning the corner, too, and taking steps forward. Obviously didn\u2019t tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blues made it 1-0 on the first shot of the game after Tucker scored from in front off Brayden Schenn<\/a>‘s pass from below the goal line just 27 seconds into the first period.<\/p>\n

Nick Lardis<\/a> tied it 1-1 with a power-play goal at 9:26 when he one-timed Moore’s cross-ice pass from the right face-off circle.<\/p>\n

Moore put Chicago up 2-1 on the power play at 7:41 of the second period with a wrist shot from above the left circle that went in off Binnington’s glove.<\/p>\n

Stenberg’s first NHL goal evened it 2-2 just 41 seconds later at 8:22. He forced a turnover in the offensive zone and lifted a wrist shot short side under the crossbar from low in the left circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was actually pretty tired,\u201d Stenberg said. \u201cI heard (linemate Jonatan Berggren<\/a>) talk to me like he was open. I would just try to shoot it. I saw a little bit (of space). It was lucky. It was nice to see it go in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Tucker, Otto Stenberg and Nathan Walker scored for the Blues (17-19-8), who had won two in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-399342","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
