Player of the Night: Alex Steen, St. Louis Blues
While taking care of the Calgary Flames, Steen had a hand in four of the five Blues goals in their 5-2 victory. He evened the score with his first of the season late in the opening period, assisted on power play goals from Jaden Schwartz and Alex Pietrangelo and then set up Paul Stastny’s tally.
Highlight of the Night:
— More like a lowlight. Jake Allen is going to want a second crack at this one.
MISC:
-- Pietrangelo’s goal was a snipe:
— St. Louis has received 12 goals from their defense through 10 games.
-- Thirteen Columbus Blue Jackets players recorded a point in their 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
-- The Blue Jackets tallied three goals in a period for the fourth time this season.
— Seth Griffith ruined Bobrovsky’s shutout bid late in the third with his first goal since Dec. 29, 2014.
