The St. Louis Blues lost their third game in four tries as they let the Columbus Blue Jackets rally from a 2-0 first period deficit to win 5-2 for just the second time in their last 12 trips to St. Louis.
Rick Nash, Andrew Murray, and Fedor Tyutin each scored in the third period for the Jackets. The Blue Jackets’ last regulation win in St. Louis was a 4-1 victory on March 27, 2007.
Eric Brewer and Patrik Berglund scored in a span of 1:23 in the first period to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead. Alex Steen assisted on both goals, giving him a career-best seven-game point streak. Berglund’s goal was his 11th of the season and third in as many games.
