Fast start lifts Blues to win over the Ducks

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Here’s some news for you.

Nothing traumatic happened here for the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. Nobody nearly died, as was the case with Jay Bouwmeester last Feb. 11. And the NHL didn’t shut down indefinitely because of a pandemic, as was the case following the March 11 makeup game of the Feb. 11 contest.

The Blues won a hockey game, though, the fifth time in five tries they’ve done so to begin a two-game series this season. Despite their troubles with penalties, the power play and just plain playing defense, they now are 5-2-1 this season after a 6-1 victory at Honda Center.
