Blues Outlast Preds in Overtime

Brayden Schenn scored at 2:23 of the extra session to lead the Blues to a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night in a battle of Central Division rivals.

 

Jordan Binnington made 25 saves in his second shutout of the season and the 12th of his career. He was the sixth goalie this season to start a game on back-to-back days. On Sunday, he stopped 28 of 31 shots in an overtime loss to Colorado.

 

Schenn broke his stick just seconds into the overtime. He then lost his voice while screaming to the bench that he needed assistance in getting a new stick.

 

Just over two minutes later, Schenn popped in the rebound of a shot by Jordan Kyrou to seal the victory.

 

Saros made 23 saves for the Predators, who have lost three in a row.

 

Binnington stopped Matt Duchene early in the overtime and helped secure the win for the Blues, who had lost six of their last seven games.

 

Binnington recorded his 100th victory to become the sixth goalie in franchise history to hit the 100-win mark.

 

St. Louis LW Pavel Buchnevich missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. He has nine goals and 11 assists. Coach Craig Berube said Buchnevich is close to returning.

 

The Blues play at Edmonton on Thursday in the first of a five-game trip.
