ST. LOUIS (AP) — Philip Broberg scored 3:42 into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Thursday night for their fourth straight victory.
Tyler Tucker and Dylan Holloway scored 24 seconds apart for the Blues in the third period. Zack Bolduc also had a goal, and Jordan Binnington made 15 saves as St. Louis moved two points ahead of Vancouver for the second wild card in the Western Conference.
Brock Boeser scored twice and Kiefer Sherwood also had a goal in the third period for the Canucks. Boeser's second goal tied it 3-all with 4 seconds left in regulation.
Kevin Lankinen stopped 25 shots for Vancouver, which is 8-8-0 in its last 16 games.
Lankinen was pulled for an extra attacker when Boeser scored his 22nd goal of the season to tie it at 3.
St. Louis pulled ahead 3-2 when Holloway scored his 23rd goal 9:52 into the third, just 24 seconds after Tucker tied the game with his third of the season. Holloway has three goals and five assists during a five-game point streak. Jordan Kyrou’s assist gave him at least one point in four straight games.
Boeser scored his first goal of the game 6:35 into the third period to put Vancouver ahead 2-1. Boeser has scored four goals over his last two games after snapping a 12-game drought Tuesday night against Winnipeg.
