Blues Sweep Flames with 4-1 Victory, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games

The St. Louis Blues defeated the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Thursday night, completing a two-game sweep in St. Louis. Brayden Schenn scored twice, Jordan Kyrou had his 20th goal, and Colton Parayko also scored for the Blues. Joel Hofer stopped 28 shots for the Blues, while Dylan Holloway added two assists.

Yegor Sharangovich scored for the Flames, and Dustin Wolf had 25 saves. The Blues scored three goals in the first period on 13 shots. Schenn opened the scoring at 4:55, Parayko blasted a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle with 6:07 to go, and Kyrou scored with 4:20 remaining.

The Flames have won just one of their last 11 games against St. Louis. The Blues swept the season series with Calgary for the second straight season, marking the first time the Blues have swept Calgary in back-to-back seasons in franchise history.

Defenceman Tyler Tucker kept the puck alive with his backhand at the blue line. He then poked the puck back into the zone to Holloway, who got the puck to Kyrou. A wrist shot by Kyrou gave the Blues a 3-0 lead.

It was the 1,500th game for Doug Armstrong as a general manager. He has 1,123 games with the Blues and 377 with Dallas. He's just the 19th general manager to reach that milestone.

Both teams are back in action Saturday night. The Flames are at Winnipeg and the Blues are at Utah.
