In St Louis, Jordan Binnington made 21 saves as the Blues defeated the New York Rangers, 5-2, on Saturday night.
David Perron had a goal in the fourth straight game. 
“It’s really exciting,” Perron said. “Thanks to all the people obviously in St. Louis that helped me get here, and also probably other cities, but I’m sure most of the votes came from here in town, and the team helped me out too. They reached I’m sure to different platforms. The [St. Louis Cardinals] helped me out. So it’s really cool.”
Filip Chytil and Bret Howden scored for the Rangers.
“That’s a veteran team, obviously,” Rangers defenseman Brady Skjei said. “They won the [Stanley] Cup last year and they wait for you to make mistakes and they’ve got plenty of skill to take advantage of those. They’re a patient team, and give them credit, they played a good game, played a good, structured game.”
Zach Sanford had a goal and two points in the Blues’s win.
“Last year, I don’t think we were as good as we wanted to be at home,” Sanford said. “This year, it’s been a completely different story and it’s been a lot of fun to win in front of these guys and hear the cheers, and we love the support we get and happy to give some love back.”
Jaden Schwartz, Robert Bortuzzo and Vince Dunn also scored for the Blues.

Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves in the loss.
“You get pretty impressed when you watch them play because it’s almost not a single play where they beat themselves,” Lundqvist said. “They’re so patient. They play very smart hockey, mature hockey. They just have one way to play. It doesn’t matter if they’re down or up a goal. They know when to chip in pucks. They know when to go to the net. It’s just smartness. They win for a reason. I thought it was pretty impressive to see how poised they were all the time.”
