Is the magic gone from the Colorado Avalanche’s early season? The Avs have lost three straight including a 4-3 decision to the visiting St Louis Blues Thursday night.
Paul Stastnyhad a goal for the Blues, his 600th NHL point.
“It’s cool, it’s special,” Stastny said. “It’s something you don’t really think about, just in the moment. When the season is done or my career is done, I’ll reflect. My mindset has always been just enjoy the moment. Don’t really look at that next milestone, don’t get ahead of yourself.”
Vince Dunn, Robert Bortuzzo and Jaden Schwartz also scored for the Blues.
Carter Hutton got the in on 38 saves.
“He’s a true professional in every sense of the word. He works tirelessly day in and day out. He’s one of the most mentally tough guys I’ve ever played hockey with,” Stastny said of Hutton.

Jonathan Bernier took the loss for the Avs on 24 saves.
“You lose a couple guys to injury, it hurts you. We had a couple passengers that we stopped playing, that hurts you,” Avs head coach Jared Bednar said after the loss. “A couple bonehead plays, you can’t make them. You’re playing the best team in the [Central] division for a tie in the division lead and we had a couple guys who didn’t show up to play. Can’t do it.”
