Blues begin 5-game homestand Tuesday vs. Edmonton

ST. LOUIS - The Blues met the Edmonton Oilers for the first time last Thursday night at Rogers Place in Alberta. Vladimir Sobotka opened the scoring, Alexander Steen scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and Brayden Schenn added two goals in the third period to help the Blues to a 4-1 victory, snapping a two-game losing streak.

The Blues held Oilers' star Connor McDavid to just three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in the game. Jake Allen stopped 29 of 30 saves to record his 100th career victory.
Since then, the Blues earned a come-from-behind 4-3 overtime victory against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday to improve to 15-5-1 on the season (31 points), which ranks first in the Western Conference and just one point behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for first overall in the League. The Oilers dropped a 6-3 decision to the Dallas Stars on Saturday, falling to 7-11-2 on the season. Edmonton remains in second-to-last place in the West, just three points ahead of the Arizona Coyotes.

The Blues activated Jay Bouwmeester from injured reserve on Monday and will get the defenseman back in the lineup. Bouwmeester has missed 21 games with a fractured ankle he sustained during a training camp scrimmage on Sept. 17.
