Devils sing Blues in St. Louis again; Isles tumble

ST. LOUIS — Carter Hutton stopped 24 shots through overtime and both attempts in the shootout, Brayden Schenn and Vladimir Tarasenko scored in the tiebreaker, and the Blues beat the Devils, 3-2, Tuesday night.

Tarasenko and Vladimir Sobotka scored in regulation as St. Louis earned its ninth straight victory over the Devils, dating back to a 7-1 loss on Jan. 21, 2014. The Blues have a 30-11 scoring edge during the streak.

Jesper Bratt appeared to give the Devils a 3-2 lead six minutes into the third but the goal was disallowed due to offsides after a four-minute video re- view. The Devils have lost three straight.

“That’s a tough call, but that’s the way it is sometimes,” said Marcus Johansson, who was called for the offsides. “Not much you can do about it.”

Hutton improved to 7-3-0 on the season. He made a pad save on Johansson with 2:09 left in overtime, and then stopped Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri in the shootout.

Nico Hischier and Hall scored for the Devils. Keith Kincaid made 27 stops through overtime, but failed on both shootout shots.

The Blues beat the Devils for the 12th time in the last 13 meetings.

BRUINS 5, ISLANDERS 1

Patrice Bergeron scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and the surging Bruins scored three times in the third to pull away at Barclays Center.

Danton Heinen, Brad Marchand, Tim Schaller and Noel Acciari also scored for the Bruins, who are 7-0-2 in their last nine games. Tuukka Rask stopped 25 shots.

Jordan Eberle scored the Islander goal and Jaroslav Halak finished with 33 saves as the Islanders lost their third straight. Josh Bailey was held without a point, ending his career-high streak at 11 games.

It was a fluky goal from Bergeron that put the Bruins ahead 2-1 in the second. A centering pass to Marchand took a funny deflection right to Bergeron on the side of the net and the Bruins’ forward banked it in off Halak at 8:28. Marchand got his 200th career assist on the play.
