Blues ride power play to win

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jordan Binnington made 27 saves for St. Louis, and the Blues scored on all three of their power plays Wednesday in a 3-2 victory over the skidding Anaheim Ducks.

Oskar Sundqvist, Brayden Schenn and Zach Sanford each had a goal for

St. Louis, which is 6-for-10 with the man advantage against Anaheim this season. Overall, the Blues have converted on just 17.1 percent of their power plays — which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Max Comtois and Rickard Rakell scored for the Ducks, who are 0-6-2 in their past eight games. John Gibson stopped 18 shots.

St. Louis has won all four meetings against Anaheim this year and six of its past seven dating to last season.

■ Coyotes 3, Kings 2: At Los Angeles, Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz scored second-period power-play goals for Arizona to back Antti Raanta, who stopped 40 shots in the Coyotes’ lone road game in a 27-day span.

■ Avalanche 4, Sharks 0: At San Jose, Calif., Mikko Rantanen had two goals and two assists and Gabriel Landeskog one goal and three assists, and Philipp Grubauer had 26 saves in his 14th shutout and third this season.

■ Capitals 2, Bruins 1, SO: At Boston, Jakub Vrana scored the lone shootout goal in defenseman Zdeno Chara’s first game in Boston since the former 14-year Bruins captain joined Washington in December.

■ Maple Leafs 6, Oilers 1: At Edmonton, Alberta, Jimmy Vesey scored twice to back Frederik Andersen, who had 26 saves in his return from injury, as league-leading Toronto capped a three-game sweep.
