It took some late-game drama, but the St. Louis Blues ended their five-game slide Thursday, handing the Florida Panthers a 5–4 defeat at Enterprise Center. St. Louis killed the full four minutes without allowing a single shot, an astonishing feat given the team's league-low 29th-ranked penalty kill. The late-game heroics came on a power play. Joel Hofer made 17 saves for St. Louis, while Tarasov stopped 26 for Florida. St Louis, now 20-25-9, will hope to carry this momentum into Saturday's home matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
