Parayko scores tiebreaking goal in 3rd as Blues beat Ducks

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Colton Parayko scored the tiebreaking goal just about midway through the third period to lift the St. Louis Blues to a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night.

Vladimir Tarasenko also scored and Jake Allen stopped 22 shots to help the Blues win for the sixth time in the last eight games (6-1-1)

Hampus Lindholm scored and Frederik Andersen finished with 31 saves as the Ducks closed out a winless five-game road trip (0-4-1). Anaheim was outscored 15-5 on the trip, including a 4-3 loss at Dallas on Tuesday night.

Tarasenko tied the score at 6:18 of the second with his sixth goal of the season, and Parayko put the Blues ahead with about 9 1/2 minutes left in the third with his fourth goal.
