Colton Parayko scored the overtime goal, and Robert Thomas added a goal and two assists as the St. Louis Blues won 4-3 against the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
Zack Bolduc and Pavel Buchnevich also scored for the Blues, who are 4-0-1 since Jim Montgomery took over as coach after Drew Bannister was fired on Nov. 24.
Goaltender Jordan Binnington made 36 saves, including 14 in the third period, and Philip Broberg assisted on two goals. The Blues managed to recover after losing a two-goal lead and a one-goal advantage.
Jakob Pelletier, Matt Coronato, and MacKenzie Weegar scored for the Flames, who have only one win in their last six games (1-3-2). Goalie Dan Vladar stopped 20 shots. This loss ended Calgary’s six-game home winning streak.
The Blues started strong when Bolduc scored a one-timer from the slot at 12:49 of the first period for his third goal of the season.
Thomas extended the lead at 14:49 with his fourth goal of the season, skating through defenders to the left circle and scoring with a sharp shot.
However, Pelletier quickly responded 15 seconds later, scoring his first goal of the season by putting in a rebound.
In the second period, Coronato tied the game with a power-play goal at 5:23, taking a shot from the high slot for his seventh goal. Calgary has scored on the power play in eight of their last nine games.
Buchnevich gave the Blues a 3-2 lead early in the third period, finishing off a nice passing play with a tap-in goal for his seventh of the season.
But just 66 seconds later, Weegar tied it for Calgary, scoring from the slot after a strong forecheck for his fourth goal
