"Robert Thomas scored his second goal of the game 54 seconds into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Friday night, just hours after trading captain Brayden Schenn. Thomas scored on a rebound of a shot by Philip Broberg, giving him four goals in three games since returning from an injury."
"The Blues entered trade deadline day near the bottom of the Western Conference standings and are looking to the future having traded away Schenn to the New York Islanders and defenseman Justin Faulk to Detroit. That left St. Louis undermanned with only five healthy defensemen against the Sharks, but the Blues still managed to pull out their third straight win."
"Kiefer Sherwood had tied it in the third period for San Jose when he beat Binnington with a one-timer from the circle. This has been an eventful week for Sherwood, who scored the winner on Tuesday against Montreal for his first goal with the Sharks and then signed a five-year, $28.75 million extension on Wednesday."
