(AP) -- David Backes scored twice, Jaroslav Halak stopped 20 shots and the St. Louis Blues beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Thursday night.


Chris Porter had his first goal of the season and Kris Russell added his second with St. Louis as the Blues finished off a 4-0-1 homestand for new coach Ken Hitchcock.


The Panthers, who lead the NHL in road wins with seven, had their four-game road winning streak snapped.

They got a goal from Mike Santorelli and 28 saves from Jose Theodore.


Two turnovers led to a pair of first-period goals.

Backes beat Theodore with a shot from the slot 6:04 into the game after picking off Brian Campbell's outlet pass.
