The St. Louis Blues fell behind, allowing two, first period goals to the Columbus Blue Jackets, but Patrik Berglund broke out of a scoring slump and Blues rallied for a 5-2 victory over Columbus on Saturday night at Scottrade Center.
The Blues rallied for their fifth straight win by scoring three times in the second period, on goals from Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka and Maxim Lapierre. Berglund then scored one 14 seconds into the third period that helped the Blues pull away.
The Blues have earned at least a point in eight straight games including seven wins and are 10-1-2 in their past 13 games. They have the most home wins (17) in the Western Conference and at 29-7-5 through 41 games, they are off to their best start ever at the halfway point of the season.
