Blues Hold Off Maple Leafs

Ryan O'Reilly scored 34 seconds into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Tuesday night for their franchise-record 11th straight victory.

 

O'Reilly started the game-winning sequence with a stellar defensive play to break up a Maple Leafs chance. The effort created a 2-on-1 break with Vladimir Tarasenko, but O'Reilly took the shot himself.

 

Jaden Schwartz and Colton Parayko also scored and Tyler Bozak had two assists for the Blues.

 

Jordan Binnington made 29 saves to win his ninth straight, extending the longest winning streak in franchise history for a rookie goaltender.

 

Zach Hyman and Auston Matthews scored third-period goals as the Maple Leafs erased a 2-0 deficit. Frederik Andersen made 38 saves as Toronto wrapped up a six-game road trip with a 3-2-1 mark.

 

Vladimir Tarasenko had his NHL-high 12 game points streak snapped. Tarasenko was named the NHL's second star of the Week on Monday. He had four goals and six assists and was plus-7 for the week ending Feb. 1.

 

The Blues are at Dallas on Thursday night.
