ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues have struggled to score goals of late, often resulting in them deviating from their game plan.
On Saturday, the Blues stuck with it and got a victory when Vladimir Tarasenko scored with 42.1 seconds remaining in overtime for a 2-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Scottrade Center.
Tarasenko cut around Columbus forward Brandon Saad and beat goalie Curtis McElhinney with a wrist shot from inside the left faceoff circle to give St. Louis (6-4-2) its second win in the past six games.
