Coyotes Stop Blues

Antti Raanta made 40 saves, Tyler Pitlick and Nick Schmaltz scored first-period goals and the Arizona Coyotes beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Thursday night.

 

Arizona got its first road win of the season in four tries. St. Louis, which had a four-game winning streak snapped, beat Arizona 4-3 on Tuesday.

 

Raanta improved to 5-2 against St. Louis. Jordan Binnington made 26 saves for St. Louis and fell to 6-2-1.

 

Mike Hoffman scored twice for the Blues. Hoffman's first goal with 3:15 left in the game brought the Blues to within 3-1.

 

Conor Garland had a goal in the second period and Christian Dvorak added an empty-netter in the third for the Coyotes.

 

Raanta was making his first appearance since Jan. 16 and appeared sharp from the outset.

 

Arizona recorded 11 of the first 12 shots in the game.

 

St. Louis was 0 for 3 on the power play after an 0-for-5 effort on Tuesday.

 

The Blues will host Arizona again on Saturday and Monday. Games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday against Colorado in St. Louis have been postponed due to COVID issues with the Avalanche.
