Guenther tipped away a pass by Jordan Kyrou to
create a 2-on-1 break, and his shot deflected off the hip of a
sliding Colton Parayko and over the shoulder of St. Louis
goaltender Joel Hofer to put Utah in front.
Jack McBain added an empty-netter in the closing seconds, and
Matias Maccelli and Michael Kesselring provided the other goals
for Utah. Kesselring scored 18 seconds into the game.
Kyrou had evened the score on a one-timer with 6:31 to play.
Parayko also scored, and Pavel Buchnevich had the primary assist
on both Blues goals.
Hofer had 27 saves for St. Louis, while Utah goaltender Connor
Ingram only needed to stop 13 shots.
Takeaways
St. Louis: Parayko has four goals through 14 games this season.
He tied the game at 1 with a wrist shot with 1:19 left in the
first period.
Utah: Utah held the Blues to two shots in the second period and
15 in the entire game.
Key moment
Kyrou made the key mistake just inside the Blues’ offensive
zone, attempting a drop pass that was tipped aside by Guenther
and led to the deciding goal.
Key stat
The Blues didn’t get a shot on goal during three minutes of
power play early in the second period after a scuffle between
Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Maveric Lamoureux. St. Louis also
couldn’t score during two first-period power plays, including a
two-man advantage of 26 seconds.
Up next
The Blues play Washington at home on Saturday, the same day Utah
closes out a four-game trip at Nashville.
