Sharks captain Macklin Celebrini missed his second straight game
with a lower-body injury.
Connor McMichael and Dillon Dubé each scored and Joel Hofer made
24 saves for St. Louis (1-2-1), which has lost three straight.
Nurse, who was acquired from Edmonton on July 1, deposited a
feed from Ivar Stenberg between Hofer’s legs for his first goal
with the Sharks.
Graf scored on a one-timer 6:05 into the third period to tie the
game at 2-2 after Dubé skated down the left wing from his own
blue line along to score a short-handed goal 1:39 into the third
to put St. Louis ahead.
It was Dubé’s first goal after missing 2 1/2 seasons since
scoring on Nov. 16, 2023 for Calgary against Vancouver.
Toffoli scored his second of the season on his own rebound as
Kiefer Sherwood blocked Hofer in front of the net to tie the
game at 1-all almost nine minutes into the second period.
McMichael scored his second goal of the season, two nights after
scoring his first as a member of the Blues, on a feed from Mason
McTavish to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead almost four minutes into
the second.
Blues defenseman Colton Parayko skated in his 804th career game
to break Barret Jackman’s franchise record for games played by a
defenseman.

Sharks: Host Edmonton on Saturday.
Blues: Host Columbus Saturday night.
