Nikita Nesterenko and Sam Colangelo scored for
the Ducks. Lukas Dostal gave up six goals on 22 shots before he
was replaced midway through the second period. John Gibson
stopped all 12 shots he faced.
The Blues scored three goals on their first six shots as Thomas,
Tucker and Kyrou tallied in the first 6:40 of the game. The
fourth goal came on the Blues’ 13th shot by Holloway with 6:05
remaining in the first period.
Thomas scored again at 4:45 of the second, and Buchnevich made
it 6-1 at 8:02. That ended Dostal's night.
Colangelo got his first goal of the season — and second of his
career — with 5:22 left in the middle period to close the
scoring.
Takeaways
Ducks: Troy Terry missed his second game. His wife gave birth on
Tuesday to their second child, a son they named Theo. He leads
Anaheim in every major statistical category — points (33), goals
(14), assists (19) and power-play goals (4) in 39 games this
season.
Blues: Holloway has five goals and eight assists over the past
11 games.
Key moment
On his second goal, Thomas took a pass in stride from Buchnevich,
but Dostal kicked out the first backhand try. Thomas stayed with
it and from a sharp angle, he was able to slide it just over the
goal line.
Key stat
The Blues have 37 goals in the past eight games. St. Louis has
scored four or more goals in five straight and seven of the past
eight.
Up Next
Ducks visit Philadelphia on Saturday, and Blues host Colorado.
