UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) -- T.J. Oshie and Brad Boyes scored shootout goals to lift the surging St. Louis Blues to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.
St. Louis won for the sixth time in seven games and moved into 10th place in the Western Conference by improving to 3-1 on a
six-game trip. The Blues, who began the night six points behind eighth-place Calgary, leapfrogged idle Dallas with 16 games
remaining.
Patrik Berglund scored the tying goal for the Blues in the second period after Matt Moulson staked New York to the lead in the
closing seconds of the first. St. Louis had chances to win in regulation, but failed to convert on three power plays in the third, including one that carried 20 seconds into overtime.
