Golden Knights fail to clinch playoff spot in loss to Blues

ST. LOUIS — The Golden Knights missed out on an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth Monday, losing 3-1 to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.

Ryan O’Reilly scored the go-ahead goal with 1:46 remaining in the second period for the Blues, who won their fourth straight game. The Knights also allowed a goal by Ivan Barbashev with 1:19 left to play in the first period.

Zach Sanford tallied in the third period, as St. Louis’ fourth line accounted for two goals.

The Knights would have clinched a spot in the postseason with a win or overtime/shootout loss.
