Kevin Hayes breaks tie in 3rd period, Blues outlast Coyotes 6-5

Nick Leddy and Alexey Toropchenko had short-handed goal 33 seconds apart, Kevin Hayes broke a tie early in the third period and the Blues outlasted the Coyotes 6-5 on Wednesday night.

 

St. Louis chased goalie Karel Vejmelka with four goals before the midpoint of the second period. The Coyotes chased Jordan Binnington not long after that with their fifth.

 

Arizona's Lawson Crouse scored his ninth goal in 11 games this month. Michael Carcone had a goal and an assist.

 

Nick Bjugstad, Jason Zucker and Nick Schmaltz also scored for the Coyotes. Mattias Maccelli had two assists for points in his eighth straight home game to start the season, matching Igor Korolev’s team record set in 1995-96.

 

Schenn scored on a breakaway midway through the first period. Bjugstad tied it less than two minutes later and Parayko put the Blues up 2-1 less than two minutes after that.

 

Somehow, no one scored over the final 15:47, capping a bizarre night in the desert.

 

The St. Louis Blues host the Nashville Predators this Friday.
