Blues Get Another Big Win, This Time Against Kings

Jaden Schwartz, in his fourth game back after missing 49 with a broken ankle, scored 1:40 into overtime as the Blues beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Thursday night. It was Schwartz's third goal and the Blues are undefeated since his return.

Schwartz showed no ill effects from the injury, corralling a loose puck in front of his own net and racing the length of the ice to score on a breakaway.

Robby Fabbri scored a power-play goal in the first period for St. Louis and Brian Elliott made 34 of 35 saves as he improved to 11-3-3 since Jake Allen was injured on Jan. 8.

Tyler Toffoli scored for the Kings, who have lost three straight.

The Blues improved to 9-2-1 against teams from the Pacific Division, have won four straight and have points in their last six games.

Elliott, making a career-high 16th consecutive start, made several big saves including a sprawling glove save on Milan Lucic moments before Schwartz's goal. He is 3-0-1, with a 0.48 goals against and a 98.2 save percentage in his last four games against the Kings.

Fabbri scored on a give-and-go with Jori Lehtera with 10 seconds left in the Blues' first power play at 11:32 of the first period. The man advantage was created when Quick was called for tripping.

The Blues have scored power-play goals in five of their last six games. Fabbri (2 goals, 3 assists) has been a part of five of the Blues' last six power-play goals.

Fabbri, a rookie, got a preview of a playoff-like intensity in a game that featured 72 combined hits.

Toffoli's power-play goal early in the third tied the game 1-1.
