Wild lets Blues off the hook, falls in overtime, 4-3

ST. LOUIS — History wasn't on the Wild's side.

Aside from dropping three in a row to the Blues, including the Winter Classic at Target Field back on New Year's Day, the Wild had also lost seven of the last eight meetings and was in a 0-5 rut in St. Louis while getting outscored 25-7 during that skid.

The Wild had changed since then, but that still wasn't enough to avoid an encore.
