Torey Krug, Jordan Kyrou, Brandon Saad and Noel Acciari also
scored for the Blues, who won for the first time since Oct. 22.
Their eight straight regulation losses set a team record.
Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich had two assists for St. Louis
and Jordan Binnington stopped 27 of 30 shots.
Timo Meier, Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks,
who are winless (0-2-3) in their last five games. Kevin Labanc
and Erik Karlsson had two assists and Kaapo Kahkonen made 28
saves.
Krug put the Blues up 1-0 just 2:30 into the game by scoring
from a sharp right-side angle. Justin Faulk triggered the
scoring play with his outlet pass to Krug, who worked a
give-and-go play with Brayden Schenn to get his shot.
Meier was credited with the tying goal with 3:41 left in the
first period when Faulk tried to knock down a bouncing puck at
the right post but batted the puck into his own net instead.
Kyrou drew a second-period Sharks penalty with a semi-breakaway.
Then Kyrou converted the power play opportunity by banging in
Buchnevich's cross-crease pass to the right post to put the
Blues up 2-1.
Hertl tied the game 2-2 by corralling the rebound from Labanc's
shot from the right side.
Saad scored to restore the Blues' lead at 3-2 with 1:52 left in
the second period when Josh Leivo set him up with a pass from
behind the net.
The Sharks applied heavy pressure to start the third period and
Couture tied the game 3-3 by deflecting Karlsson's pass off the
right boards.
The Blues reclaimed the lead 4-3 with Rosen's blast from the
left point off Thomas' pass back from the end wall. Acciari iced
the game with an empty-net goal with 19 seconds left.
