ST. LOUIS — The Blues might not have pictured Jakub Vrana scoring like he did during Thursday’s 4-2 win over the Sharks, but they’ll sure take it.
Vrana squeezed a shot from below the goal line between Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen and the post, and banked it off San Jose’s Erik Karlsson to boost the Blues to a one-goal lead less than three minutes into the third period.
The goal was Vrana’s first as a Blue since he was acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline for a 2025 seventh-round pick and minor leaguer Dylan McLaughlin. The Red Wings also retained half of Vrana’s salary for this season and next.
