Ducks Down Blues

Josh Manson scored in opening minutes of overtime and the Anaheim Ducks rallied from a two-goal deficit and beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 Sunday night.

 

Adam Henrique and Can Fowler scored in regulation for Anaheim, which completed a two-game sweep over the Blues. Anaheim won 4-1 Friday.

 

Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz made 37 saves in his first start of the season. Stolarz started his first game since March 11, 2020, also against St. Louis, in the teams' last game before the COVID-19 shutdown. Stolarz won for the first time since Feb. 12, 2019, as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers.

 

Manson scored his first goal of the season 1:42 into overtime on a pass from Stolarz. Anaheim won for the first time in 15 games this season when trailing after two periods.

 

Jordan Binnington made 21 saves, and Ryan O'Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko scored for the Blues, who are 0-5-2 in their last seven home games.

 

Tarasenko scored his second goal of the season on a power play with 4:01 remaining in the first period to put St. Louis up 2-0. It was Tarasenko's first goal in since March 12 against Vegas, snapping a seven-game scoring drought.

 

O'Reilly scored his 12th goal of the season 2:27 into the game on a feed from Vladimir Tarasenko. It marked the first time St. Louis had scored first in its last nine games.

 

The NHL announced that the Blues play at Los Angeles on May 10 to make up their game against the Kings that was postponed on March 15, with Los Angeles unable to leave Denver due to winter weather.

 

The Blues play at Colorado Friday night for the first of back-to-back games in Denver.
