ST. LOUIS (AP) – Ryan Miller made 31 saves in his return to St. Louis and the Vancouver Canucks scored three times in the third period to beat the Blues 4-1 on Thursday night.
Nick Bonino, Linden Vey and Jannik Hansen all scored in the third period to help the Canucks (4-2-0, 8 points) snap a two-game losing streak. The Blues fell to 2-3-1 with their second consecutive loss.
The Canucks scored just 41 seconds into the game off a Blues turnover in the neutral zone. Alexandre Burrows’ wrist shot from the left circle was knocked down by goalie Jake Allen, but Chris Higgins was there to put home the rebound for his second goal of the season.
The Blues tied the score with a power-play goal from Kevin Shattenkirk with 12:22 left in the second period after the Canucks were called for too many men on the ice.
Nick Bonino put the Canucks ahead to stay with 15:06 remaining in the third period when he scored on an odd-man rush following a save by Miller on the other end.
