Brent Johnson kicked away 22 shots while Keith Tkachuk’s power play goal 1:02 into the third period proved to be the difference as the St. Louis Blues held off the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 last night. Tkachuk’s tally made it 3-1, the Oilers would score with two minutes remaining but they never picked up the equalizer. The win was the sixth straight for St.Louis and their ninth in ten games.
