Jake Neighbours and Brayden Schenn scored during a shootout after St. Louis gave up two goals in the final minutes of regulation, and the Blues held on to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 on Monday.
Forwards from three lines (Brayden Schenn, Nathan Walker and Jake Neighbours), plus a defenseman (Cam Fowler) scored goals. The Blues struck on the power play. Jordan Binnington made 28 saves.
The Golden Knights extended their losing streak to four games Monday by falling to the St. Louis Blues in a shootout at T-Mobile Arena.
With Stone on the ice at even strength, the Golden Knights hold a 55.52 percent expected goal share, which is the highest of any player on the team. He’s also one of the biggest reasons why Vegas’ power play has been as effective as it has. His decision-making and execution along the goal line on that unit have been excellent.
For 59 1/2 minutes, it looked like Monday afternoon's date with the Vegas Golden Knights was just what the doctor ordered for the Blues.
