Brayden Schenn contributed a goal and an assist for the Blues (2-1-0), while Nick Bjugstad buried his first of the season and Jake Neighbours added an empty-net strike with 2:13 left on the game clock.<\/p>\n

Goalie Jordan Binnington stopped 29 of the 31 shots he faced as St. Louis won its second game in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kiefer Sherwood<\/a> scored both Vancouver goals, including a short-handed tally on a breakaway midway through the second period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kevin Lankinen, making his first start of the season, registered 30 saves for the Canucks (1-2-0).<\/p>\n

Blues centre Pius Suter made his return to Vancouver, where he played the last two seasons before signing with St. Louis as a free agent on July 2.<\/p>\n

Canucks: The home side came into the game with a perfect penalty kill, but saw the streak snapped 8:13 into the second when Snuggerud popped a shot in past Lankinen on a St. Louis power play. Vancouver has killed 12-of-13 infractions to start the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n

Blues: Snuggerud led the Blues offence with six shots. The 21-year-old rookie now has seven points (three goals, four assists) across 10 regular-season NHL games to start his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Less than two minutes after Sherwood cut Vancouver’s deficit to a single goal with a short-handed tally, Bjugstad replied for the Blues. The centre fired a rocket from inside the top of the faceoff circle 13:45 into the second to make it 4-2 for St. Louis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Canucks’ power play went 0-for-1 on Monday, and is now 0-for-7 to start the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blues: Host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Canucks: Kick off a five-game road trip against the Stars in Dallas on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brayden Schenn contributed a goal and an assist for the Blues (2-1-0), while Nick Bjugstad buried his first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-211297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
