EDMONTON, Alberta — The Blues went to overtime for the third game in a row, this time thanks to a very late goal from Vladimir Tarasenko to salvage a point and then the Blues won in a shootout, with Jordan Binnington stopping all three shots in a 4-3 win at Rogers Place on Thursday.
Tarasenko's goal in the slot came with the Blues playing short-handed after Pavel Buchnevich was called for tripping with 1:02 to go. The Blues still pulled Binnington and at five on five tied the game with 19.1 seconds to play. It looked like Edmonton won when Leon Draisaitl scored with 2:38 to go in overtime but a replay review wiped the goal out for offside and despite some good scoring chances for the Blues, the game went to a shootout where Jordan Kyrou scored.
The comeback allowed the Blues to overcome three bench minors — one for sending out the wrong starting lineup and two for having too many men on the ice, and Edmonton’s league-best power play took advantage of the free chances to score twice. The Blues' extended their modest point streak to three games.
