The Blues showed life in the first period and then turned the rest of the game into what most of their other games have been, a maddening exercise in missed chances and mistakes that usually ended up costing them.
After scoring two goals in the first period that promised life in the team’s moribund offense, the Blues didn’t score in the rest of regulation, and then lost in overtime, 3-2, to the Ducks on Sunday afternoon at Enterprise Center.
The Ducks had the puck for the entirety of the overtime, which ended with Josh Manson backhanding in a puck over the shoulder of goalie Jordan Binnington 1:42 into the extra period.
