(AP) -- Jason Arnott scored a pair of power-play goals Monday night to lead St. Louis to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, moving the Blues into a tie with Detroit atop the Central Division.

David Backes also scored for St. Louis, which is 9-3 in its last 12 games and moved within two points of Vancouver for first place overall.
