"St. Louis opened the scoring midway through the opening frame when rookie Otto Stenberg sent the puck back to Cam Fowler following an offensive zone faceoff. The veteran defenseman moved to the middle and let a shot go that Jake Neighbours tipped by a helpless Daniil Tarasov. It was Stenberg's first point in the NHL. Recent waiver claim Jonatan Berggren put the Blues up by two with a power-play marker 1:55 into the second."
"The Panthers would finally break through at 7:35. Working down low, Seth Jones tried to stuff the puck past Joel Hofer and the rebound came to Jesper Boqvist, whose follow-up shot was deflected in by A.J. Greer. Sam Bennett would find Brad Marchand down low and his pass into the slot was wristed home by Sam Reinhart to tie the tilt at 12:45 with Colton Parayko off for holding."
"With time running out in the frame, Justin Faulk slapped Berggren's crafty cross-ice bounce pass off the boards into the top of the net, beating the buzzer to give St. Louis the lead back for good. The Cats looked gassed in the third period and after failing to take advantage of an early tripping minor on Tyler Tucker, the Blues would eventually run away with it."
The St. Louis Blues defeated the Florida Panthers 6-2, snapping Florida's season-high four-game winning streak. Otto Stenberg recorded his first NHL point on a Cam Fowler shot tipped by Jake Neighbours, who scored twice. Jonatan Berggren and Robert Thomas added power-play goals, and Justin Faulk scored a buzzer-beater to restore the Blues' lead late in the second period. The Panthers scored earlier through A.J. Greer and Sam Reinhart to tie the game briefly. Florida appeared fatigued in the third period, allowing the Blues to pull away with late goals after a costly turnover by Seth Jones.
