Gragnani had a chance on the rebound, but was foiled by Elliott. The defenseman, playing his first NHL game since Nov. 12, struggled at times and took a cross-checking penalty.
St. Louis came close to scoring on the ensuing power play, but Luongo got an elbow on Vladimir Sobotka's shot, and the puck landed on top of the net.
Kassian led all shooters with four shots.
NOTES: St. Louis' Ken Hitchcock is on pace for the ninth 100-point season of his 15-year NHL head coaching career. He also surpassed 100 points four times during his junior coaching days with the Kamloops Blazers. ... Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault pulled Luongo for a sixth attacker before a faceoff in the St. Louis end with under 2 seconds left in the second period. The Blues won the draw to erase any threat.
