Brayden Schenn scored twice to lead the St. Louis Blues past the visiting Calgary Flames 4-1 on Thursday night.

The Blues swept their three-game season series with the Flames for the second straight campaign.

Colton Parayko and Jordan Kyrou also scored for the Blues, who went 3-1 on their homestand.

Dylan Holloway had two assists for St. Louis and Joel Hofer made 28 saves to improve to 7-1-1 in his last nine starts.

Yegor Sharangovich scored for the Flames and Dustin Wolf made 25 saves.

The Blues outshot the Flames 15-7 in the first period while racing to a 3-0 lead.

Holloway came off the back wall with the puck and set up Schenn’s one-time shot from just outside the left post 4:55 in the game.

Parayko made it 2-0 with 6:07 left in the first period by extending his goal-scoring streak to three games. His defense partner Cam Fowler beat a defender above the left circle, then slid a pass to Parayko on the right point.

With no Flames in his shooting lane, Parayko was able to step into a low slap shot that beat Wolf between his pads.

The Blues scored again with less than two minutes later. Kyrou connected from the right circle off Holloway’s pass from beside the net.

Calgary turned up the pressure on St. Louis in the second period while building a 17-9 shots advantage.

Martin Pospisil had a clean break-in for the Flames and defenseman Rasmus Andersson got multiple looks through the period. The Flames finally broke through when Sharangovich scored from the slot off Jakob Pelletier’s centering pass.

After Jake Neighbours drew a penalty with his clean break-in on goal, he set up Schenn’s redirection power-play goal off the rush. That increased the Blues’ lead to 4-1 with 2:21 left in the second period.
