LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brayden Schenn’s absence for six games because of an upper-body injury wasn’t the only reason the St. Louis Blues saw a dip following their 11-game winning streak.However Patrick Maroon Jersey Womens , given how the reunited top line of Schenn, Ryan O’Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko has performed since the left winger made his return, it’s easy to understand why the Blues are crediting Schenn for the improvement to start their three-game California road trip.Schenn had two assists to set up goals by Tarasenko and O’Reilly as the St. Louis Blues beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-0 on Thursday night.Schenn has a goal and three assists in two games since returning from injury. The Blues went 2-3-1 without Schenn, but won back-to-back games against Anaheim and Los Angeles since his return.“You see how much Schenner means to that line, means to our group,” said Jake Allen, who stopped 28 shots for his 19th career shutout. “I don’t know how many games he missed . we weren’t playing like we did. We’re working our way back, and he just adds so much to our top six.”Jonathan Quick made 28 saves for the Kings, who have lost 12 of their past 13 games.The Blues took a 1-0 lead 25 seconds into the second period when Tarasenko scored his 28th goal. Schenn helped the Blues break out on the rush and Tarasenko fired a wrist shot from the far edge of the left circle into the top right corner.The Schenn, O’Reilly and Tarasenko line has combined for 21 goals and 35 assists in the past 13 games. Schenn has three goals and 14 assists in that span.“It’s nice having him back, that’s for sure Tyler Bozak Jersey Womens ,” O’Reilly said of Schenn. “Getting him gives us a spark. We’re a line that plays a lot of minutes. We have to lead the charge that way. Both Vladdy and Schenner played great tonight.”Allen said Schenn and O’Reilly are strong blue-collar compliments to the high-scoring Tarasenko, who is on the verge of getting 30 goals for the fifth consecutive season.“Him and O’Reilly gel well together below the goal line,” Allen said. “They do a lot of the hard work, and they obviously try to find Vladdy and let him do his thing. But I think they just work well together and created a lot for each other.”Tyler Bozak put the Blues up 2-0 with 1:18 left in the second.O’Reilly made it 3-0 by tipping in Schenn’s pass with 1.1 seconds remaining in the period, providing another example of the chemistry the trio is developing.“We’re not fancy and beating guys 1-on-1,” O’Reilly said of Schenn. “It’s kind of coming together and supporting each other, and we find a way to support each other. When we do that, you can see we’re able to make plays and stuff opens up so we find ways to break down teams.”Ivan Barbashev capped the scoring at 8:13 of the third period on another odd-man rush.“Tonight alone I think that’s more odd-man rushes than I’ve seen in a game in a long time” Kings forward Tyler Toffoli said. “That’s not a way for any team to be successful.”NOTES: Tarasenko totaled four points (goal, three assists) against the Ducks and Kings. He has 19 goals and 37 points in 34 road games. . Allen’s shutout was his third this season. . … Los Angeles was shut out for the third time. … The Blues are 13-4-2 on the road in 2019.UP NEXTBlues: At San Jose on Saturday.Kings: At Arizona on Saturday night. BOSTON (AP) — Somewhere along the way, Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry must have learned a little baseball, too.The son of major league pitcher Dan Petry scored the game-winner just 15 seconds into overtime on Monday night Chad Johnson Jersey Womens , batting the puck out of the air and past Tuukka Rask to give Montreal a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins.“That bloodline of Jeff Petry in the baseball world,” Canadiens coach Claude Julien said with a smile, “he showed his talent on that goal.”Carey Price stopped 41 shots for the Canadiens, but he allowed David Krejci’s 6-on-4 goal with 38 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime. Once there, Montreal didn’t need a lot of time to regain the lead.After winning the opening faceoff, the Canadiens gathered in their own zone before Max Domi carried the puck over the blue line and then waited for Petry to get into position in front of the Boston net.Domi’s shot went off Rask’s glove and into the air, where Petry swatted it into the net with his backhand.“We lost the draw and then all of a sudden, we never touch it,” Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said.Paul Byron scored a short-handed goal, and Brendan Gallagher also scored to help Montreal earn its third victory in four tries.Rask made 19 saves but lost for the first time in his last six starts. A year after the Bruins swept their Original Six rivals in the season series — winning six matchups in a row in all — the Canadiens managed to split their four meetings this season.“It’s our No. 1 rival, lot of history here Brian Flynn Jersey Womens ,” Byron said. “And every time you come in this building and win, it’s huge.”Brad Marchand scored for Boston, giving the Bruins a 1-0 lead about six minutes into the game. Julien said the turning point was when Nicolas Deslauriers and Boston’s Kevan Miller dropped their gloves late in the first period.Although it was the Canadiens defenseman who lost his helmet and wound up on the bottom when the two went to the ice, Julien said it gave his team a boost.“I think it helped,” Julien said. “We scored afterward, and I think when you look at the kind of fight it was, there’s no doubt it gave us a spark. … It’s the kind of thing we don’t see much anymore, but I think the players and the coaches appreciated what he did.”Gallagher tied it about two minutes later. Late in the second, with Victor Mete off for hooking, Byron outskated Boston’s Patrice Bergeron to a loose puck at the blue line and went in on the net, switching to his backhand before flipping it past Rask’s glove for the go-ahead goal.It stayed that way until Montreal’s Michael Chaput was called for delay of game for shooting the puck over the glass with 2:05 left. Rask came off 30 seconds later Christian Folin Jersey Womens , and the Bruins worked their two-man advantage and got the puck to Krejci, who wristed it into the net to assure Boston one point.“We got one. Krejci got a big goal there late to get us that point,” Marchand said.“Would have been nice to get the second with Toronto losing tonight.”NOTES: David Pastrnak played in his 300th NHL game. … The Bruins wore the sweaters they made for the Winter Classic, at Notre Dame Stadium against the Chicago Blackhawks. … Bergeron has 13 points in 11 games since he missed 16 with a rib injury. … Canadiens coach Claude Julien improved to 2-6 against the team he led to the 2011 Stanley Cup championship. … Byron, who hadn’t scored a point in six games, scored his first goal since back-to-back game-winners on Dec. 20 and 22.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.Bruins: Visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
