Blues beat Kraken 3-2 to halt Seattle's 5-game home winning streak
SEATTLE (AP) --- Dylan Holloway scored the go-ahead goal in the second period,
Brayden Schenn had three assists and the St. Louis Blues beat the Seattle
Kraken 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Robert Thomas added a goal and an assist, and defenseman Logan Mailloux also
scored as the last-place Blues improved to 9-17-3 on the road with their second
consecutive victory away from home against a playoff contender.
Joel Hofer made 34 saves for St. Louis, which won 3-1 on Sunday at Minnesota
after going 2-8-1 in its previous 11 games.
Seattle defenseman Vince Dunn had a goal and an assist. Jaden Schwartz also
scored for the Kraken, who had won five in a row at home without giving up more
than two goals in any of them. Philipp Grubauer stopped 24 shots.
Seattle fell to 2-1 on its six-game homestand and 7-4-0 in its last 11 overall.
The Kraken, who hold the second wild card and final playoff spot in the Western
Conference, remained one point behind third-place Edmonton in the Pacific
Division with a game in hand on the Oilers.
Holloway gave the Blues a 2-1 lead with his 12th goal at 7:40 of the second.
The 24-year-old forward scored St. Louis' first hat trick this season and added
an assist when he returned from a sprained ankle to lead the Blues over Seattle
5-1 at home in their first game back from the Olympic break last Thursday.
Thomas made it 3-1 just 1:33 into the third. Dunn trimmed Seattle's deficit to
one at 13:34.
