The St. Louis Blues ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday.
Robert Bortuzzo, Zach Sanford, Ryan O’Reilly and Ivan Barbashev scored, David Perron had two assists, and Jake Allen made 22 saves for the Blues (2-3-2), who were 0-2-1 in their previous three games.
“That looked a lot more like the St. Louis Blues tonight,” Blues coach Mike Yeo said. “I thought the guys came out and gave us a great response as far as last game (a 3-2 loss at the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday) went down and the way we talked about how we had to play the game, we did it to a T.”
Morgan Rielly scored, and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves for the Maple Leafs (6-3-0), who have lost two in a row.
“We have to do a better job obviously,” Rielly said. “Less turnovers, play off the cycle a little more. We just have to get it in and grind a little more than we did tonight. It starts with clean breakouts, less turnovers in our own end, more talk to one another to make it easier. The better we do that, the more we’ll get through the neutral zone and the better off we’ll be.”
