LAS VEGAS _ The question that hung over the St. Louis Blues going into their game Thursday against Vegas was how the team would handle their first game since teammate Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the bench on Tuesday in Anaheim, Calif.
Zach Sanford was clearly ready.
Sanford scored four goals, giving him his first career hat trick and making him the first Blue to score four since David Backes in 2015, but the Blues gave up four power-play goals, including one in overtime, as the Golden Knights won 6-5 on Thursday in Las Vegas.
