ST. LOUIS — For one night at least, the agony is over for the Blues. Yep, they finally won a game — it’s true — defeating the San Jose Sharks by a score of 5-3 Thursday night before a sellout crowd of 18,906 at Enterprise Center.
It had been eight in a row on the wrong side of the scoreboard for St. Louis, a franchise record set Tuesday in Philadelphia. But no more. This was a back-and-forth affair — with the Blues leading 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, and 4-3. But they just couldn’t get any more space between themselves and the Sharks, who they have now beaten six games in a row.
Until, that is, Noel Acciari scored an empty-net goal with 18.2 seconds left. So the Blues are now 4-8-0 for the season. San Jose has lost five in a row — three of which were decided in overtime — falling to 3-9-3.
