In St Louis, the Blues trailed the Seattle Kraken by a goal through two periods of play on Thursday.
Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich hit for goals in the final frame and erased the deficit in a 2-1 win.
“You’re not always going to get the lead,” Blues head coach Craig Berube said. “It’s nice to get the lead. Things happen, and you know, you get bad bounces. Whatever it is. You’ve got to just stay with it and keep pushing. I think our guys are good at that.
“It’s something we talk about a lot because if you want to be a real good team, you’ve got to be able to come back in games and come from behind and win. I think it’s obviously really important.”
The Blues extended their home point streak to 13 games with the victory.
St Louis improved to 22-10-5.
Ville Husso made 31 saves in the Blues win.
Alex Wennberg scored the Kraken’s lone goal.
“It’s obviously not the way we want it to be,” Wennberg said. “Obviously we’re finding ways to lose the game. We have the lead right now and again, it’s a third period where we give away some goals. I mean, we’ve got to find something here. We’ve got to step up and take responsibility for what’s going on.
“Right now we’re not doing the job. We have no one else to blame but ourselves. There’s no secret to it, it’s doing the right things on the ice.”
Seattle dropped to 10-22-4.
Chris Driedger made 25 saves in the Seattle loss.
“Just frustrated,” Driedger said. “You’re never really feel happy after losing a game. It’s a team effort and I don’t think anyone is satisfied without getting two points. We’re just in one of those stretches where we’ve got to figure out a way to win.”
