ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brayden Schenn scored at 2:25 of overtime to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night.
Jordan Binnington made 25 saves in his second shutout of the season and the 12th of his career. He was the sixth goalie this season to start a game on back-to-back days. On Sunday, he stopped 28 of 31 shots in an overtime loss to Colorado.
Schenn popped in the rebound of a shot by Jordan Kyrou to seal the victory. Kyrou broke in along the right wing and fired a shot that goalie Juuse Saros kicked right to Schenn, who scored his seventh of the season.
