- ST. LOUIS 3, DUCKS 2

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

Oskar Sundqvist, Brayden Schenn and Zach Sanford each had a goal for St. Louis, which is six for 10 with the man advantage against Anaheim this season. Overall, the Blues have converted on 17.1% of their power plays — which ranks 24th in the NHL.

St. Louis has won all four meetings against the Ducks this year and six of their last seven dating to last season.

Max Comtois and Rickard Rakell scored for Anaheim, which is 0-6-2 in its last eight games. John Gibson stopped 18 shots.

The Blues have won nine of their first 11 road games. Defenseman Justin Faulk said even though players haven’t being able to hang out away from the rink, the on-ice product is working.

“Our team’s comfortabl­e being on the road,” Faulk said. “It doesn’t bother us. You’re very limited on what you can do, but we’re still trying to enjoy our time around each other and try to create as much of team chemistry as we can on the road with what we’re limited to.”

After the Blues took a 2-0 lead, Comtois got Anaheim on the board with less than six minutes remaining in the second.
