VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Dylan Holloway scored 1:40 into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat Vancouver 4-3 on Tuesday night, spoiling the return of Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko from a knee injury.
Robert Thomas had a goal and two assists for the Blues. Zack Bolduc and Jordan Kyrou also scored, and Joel Hofer stopped 22 shots.
Vancouver got a goal and an assist from Elias Pettersson. Dakota Joshua and Jake DeBrusk also scored, while Brock Boeser and Conor Garland each had two assists.
Demko made 21 saves in his first start for the Canucks since injuring his knee April 21 at the beginning of the playoffs last season.
Blues forward Radek Faksa headed straight to the dressing room when it appeared he was cut by a skate.
Blues: Holloway continues to provide offense. The center, acquired via an offer sheet last summer, also assisted on Bolduc’s goal and extended his point streak to seven games (six goals, five assists).
Canucks: With Demko back, Vancouver came closer to having its full lineup for the first time this season. The team is still missing defenseman Derek Forbort (lower body) and star center J.T. Miller, who remains on indefinite leave for a personal issue. Miller joined his teammates for the morning skate on Tuesday.
St. Louis was down a man when Thomas picked up a bobbled puck in the neutral zone and streaked up the ice on a breakaway. His shot beat Demko stick side to put the Blues up 2-1 at 17:30 of the first period. It was St. Louis’ first short-handed goal of the season.
The Canucks have earned at least a point in five of their last six games.
Blues: Visit the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
Canucks: Continue a six-game homestand against the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
