Sundqvist has a goal and assist, Blues beat Blackhawks 5-1
Associated PressST. LOUIS — Oskar Sundqvist had a goal and an assist, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1 on Saturday night. “We knew it was going to be a challenge, but that’s not good enough,” Blackhawks interim coach Derek King said. I thought the second period got a little harried with all the penalties, but overall, a good performance by everybody.” Strome’s power-play goal at 2:37 of the second cut the Blues lead to 2-1. “I think a lot of stuff worked really well tonight.” While he faced just 16 shots, Husso made several highlight-reel saves including going post-to-post to rob Patrick Kane late in the first period and he did it again to thwart Seth Jones’ one-timer in the third. “I don’t really know what we finished with, but midway through the third we only had 14 shots, so it’s really not enough to create a lot of chances.” FACE IN THE CROWD Rapper and St. Louis native Nelly attended the game and made a cameo appearance on the video board in the third period.
