Clayton Keller also scored and Darcy Kuemper
made 33 saves for the Coyotes, who stacked this victory on top
of Monday night's 4-3 shootout road victory over the Washington
Capitals.
Jaden Schwartz and Colton Parayko scored for the Blues, whose
seven-game winning streak ended. Jordan Binnington stopped 20 of
22 shots.
The Blues scored first, converting a rush late in the first
period. Schwartz drove right down the middle of the offensive
zone to the net, Brayden Schenn fired a shot off left wing and
Schwartz batted home the rebound at 17:13.
Shortly thereafter, the Blues' Ryan O'Reilly had a chance to
push the first-period lead to 2-0, but Kuemper robbed him from
point-blank range with a glove save.
The Blues controlled the second period, outshooting the Coyotes
16-6 and earning extensive offensive zone time.
But Keller tied the score 1-1 by capitalizing on a Blues
turnover less than seven minutes into the period. When Dave
Perron backhanded the puck into the middle of the Blues' zone,
Keller claimed the loose puck and beat Binnington from the high
slot.
Parayko countered with 4:19 left in the second period. He burst
up the right wing and snapped a shot past Kuemper to put the
Blues up 2-1.
Keller struck again about six minutes into the third period by
streaking in on left wing to set up Garland's power-play goal --
his team's first with the man advantage since Nov. 2.
Keller has two goals and seven assists in nine career games
against his hometown Blues.
Binnington stopped Lawson Crouse's short-handed breakaway to
keep the score tied 2-2 and force overtime.
The Coyotes failed to capitalize on an overtime power play, so
the game went into a shootout.
