CALGARY, Alberta — After the wildness of their comeback win on Thursday, the Blues took a more boring approach on Friday and got the same result.
Buoyed by a penalty kill that stopped three penalties in the second period, including 22 seconds of two-man advantage, the Blues ran their win streak to three games, their point streak to four and snapped their overtime streak at three as they exploded for three goals in the first 10 minutes of the third period to break open a workmanlike 5-2 win over the Flames at the Saddledome.
Ivan Barbashev, Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, Brandon Saad and Robert Thomas scored as the Blues got their five-game trip west trip off to a good start with two wins, and against two of the teams they are chasing in the Western Conference standings. They now have two days off before resuming play in Vancouver on Monday.
