ST. LOUIS — Paul Stastny broke a 1-1 third-period tie and the St. Louis Blues defeated the Golden Knights 2-1 Thursday night at Scottrade Center, ending the Knights’ eight-game winning streak.
It was also the first loss in regulation for the Knights since Dec. 1, when they were defeated 7-4 in Winnipeg. They had a 13-game point streak snapped.
Stastny was alone at the left post after Marc-Andre Fleury had stopped Colton Parayko’s shot from the right faceoff circle and got a piece of Vladimir Sobotka’s rebound try. But the puck was sitting at the post on the goal line and Stastny nudged it over the line before Fleury could react.
