Blues Win, Blackhawks Lose Thursday

>>Blues Down Avalanche
Jaden Schwartz and Vince Dunn added goals 52 seconds apart in the second period and the Blues overcame three crazy plays down the stretch to beat the Avalanche 4-3 on Thursday night.
 
Stastny, the former Avalanche player who still makes his offseason home in Denver, added a goal and an assist to give him 601 career points.
 
The Blues are at Las Vegas on Saturday night.
 
>>Oilers Down Blackhawks
 
Mark Letestu scored on a power play with 15.8 seconds left in overtime to give Edmonton a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks that snapped a four-game losing streak.
 
Letestu beat Anton Forsberg on the short side with a one-time shot from the left circle after taking a pass from Oscar Klefbom. Edmonton's 4-on-3 advantage was set up after Patrick Kane was called for hooking at 3:45.
 
Talbot made 30 straight saves after giving up a fluke goal to Kane on Chicago's first shot.
 
Edmonton's Patrick Maroon scored late in the first period.
 
Edmonton's Connor McDavid had two assists, including setting up Maroon with a sensational spinning move and pinpoint backhand pass. 
 
Anton Forsberg, Chicago's backup, stopped 40 shots in his second start this season, but the Blackhawks lost their second straight and third in four games. No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford got the night off following a 5-2 loss at St. Louis on Wednesday night.
 
Chicago failed to convert five power plays, including a 56-second 5-on-3 advantage.
 
The Blackhawks are in Arizona on Saturday night.
