ST. LOUIS _ Did you enjoy the third period? Zach Sanford did. His two third-period goals helped the Blues overcome deficits of 3-1 and 5-4 to pull out a thrilling 6-5 win over the rival Chicago Blackhawks.
It was the fifth win in a row for the Blues, who held their first-place position in the Central Division and improved to 37-17-10.
The Blues scored twice in 16 seconds to take a 4-3 lead early in the third period. Then Chicago scored twice to regain the lead. And then the Blues' Justin Faulk scored to tie it at 5. And we were only midway through the third Tuesday at Enterprise Center.
