Blues avenge loss to Bruins with OT victory

Blues, Bruins

Brayden Schenn scored with 2:07 remaining in overtime as the visiting St. Louis Blues beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 on Saturday.

Colton Parayko dished a pass to Schenn in transition, who buried a wrist shot past Boston goaltender Joonas Korpisalo for the winning goal.

Radek Faksa registered a goal and an assist, Nathan Walker also scored and Alexey Toropchenko dished out two assists for St. Louis, which had been in an 0-3-1 rut — including a 3-2 home loss to Boston on Tuesday.

St. Louis had a 31-17 shots-on-goal advantage, holding Boston to no more than six in any regulation period. Jordan Binnington made 15 saves.

Playing against his hometown team, Trent Frederic scored both Boston goals.

Korpisalo stopped 28 shots on goal for the Bruins, who have dropped back-to-back games (0-1-1) following a 2-0-1 run.

Walker brought the Blues even with 10:42 left in regulation and forced the extra session, burying a wrister from above the right circle after receiving a low-to-high pass from Faksa.

Faksa gave the Blues a 1-0 lead at 6:25 of the first period, tipping Scott Perunovich’s shot from just inside the blue line.

The initial game-tying goal came from Frederic at the 9:34 mark, as he buried a rebound after Georgii Merkulov tipped Charlie McAvoy’s pass down low from the point.

Merkulov’s primary assist marked his first NHL point in his fifth career game.

Frederic netted his second goal of the period only 2:38 later, redirecting Mason Lohrei’s drive from the left point while screening Binnington at the net front.

Several timely saves from Korpisalo helped the Bruins maintain a 2-1 lead entering the first intermission, including one on Schenn’s three-on-one rush with 2:35 left.

St. Louis dominated the second period to the tune of a 9-4 edge in shots, but had an apparent tying goal by Oskar Sundqvist called back due to goaltender interference while the puck hitting multiple posts.

Boston forward Mark Kastelic left due to a lower-body injury in the second and did not return.
