Toffili tied it 1-1 at 8:48 of the second period, scoring on a second effort off his own rebound. The forward stuffed his second shot at the near post getting checked by Colton Parayko seconds after a Sharks power play ended.
Dube's short-handed goal, his first goal in the NHL since Nov. 16, 2023, put the Blues ahead 2-1 at 1:39 of the third period. He kept the puck on a 2-on-1 and beat Nedeljkovic high into the righthand corner.
