ST. LOUIS — Brayden Schenn and Alexander Steen scored in a shootout and Carter Hutton stopped both attempts he faced in the tiebreaker to lead the St. Louis Blues past the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Thursday night.
St. Louis beat the Coyotes for the 12th straight time and has won seven of eight overall.
Alex Pietrangelo and defenseman Joel Edmundson scored in regulation for the first-place Blues (13-3-1), who have earned at least one point in their last 16 games against the Coyotes.
Brendan Perlini scored twice for NHL-worst Arizona (2-13-3), which hasn’t won in regulation this season. One of the Coyotes’ wins came in overtime, the other in a shootout.
