The St. Louis Blues were hoping the 10-day rest they had from the All-Star break combining with their off week would provide them some jump and an end to a two-game losing streak. Instead, the Blues ran into a brick wall in the Vancouver Canucks net.
The Blues started the game off well. St. Louis scored just a little over three minutes into the game.
Vancouver did outshoot St. Louis 10-9 in the first period, but it never really felt like the Canucks had a firm control. They had a few quality chances here or there, but Jake Allen was solid in his first start after the All-Star break.
