EDMONTON, Alberta — After the Blues’ second win in three days over the Vancouver Canucks, veteran David Perron consciously pumped the breaks. The Blues needed to put together four or five consecutive wins, Perron cautioned, before they could start to feel like they had something going.
Well, they’re not there yet. Their winning “streak” ended at two games Friday at Rogers Place. With leading scorer Jordan Kyrou still out of the lineup with illness, and Jordan Binnington in net, the Blues failed to build on that Vancouver momentum, losing 6-5 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers.
At 37-20-10 and adding an 84th point, the Blues still have work to do to clinch a playoff berth. They finished their season series against Edmonton (39-25-5) having gone 1-1-1. They close out this road trip and play their final regular-season game against a Canadian team on Saturday in Calgary.
