Thomas Sizzles with Four Points as Blues Outgun Ducks in a Shootout Thriller!
ANAHEIM - The St. Louis Blues marked an electrifying victory as Robert Thomas fired up the game with a goal and a hat-trick of assists in the sensational 6-5 shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks. Jordan Kyrou wasn't far behind, dishing out three assists and netting the defining goal in the nerve-wracking three-round shootout showdown. In the crease, Jordan Binnington was a wall with 33 heart-stopping saves.
The crowd at Honda Center was barely settled into their seats when Zack Bolduc blasted the Blues ahead just 11 seconds in. But the Ducks quacked back with Nikita Nesterenko potting his first of the season to equalize. Cue Matt Kessel, who rifled home his inaugural NHL goal to push the Blues’ lead again.
- Fast forward to a power play blast from Thomas and a killer one-timer by Pavel Buchnevich, served up by Kyrou on a platter, made it 4-2 for the Blues.
- Third-period drama had Leo Carlsson for the Ducks cut the deficit before Brayden Schenn and Vatrano traded goals like heavyweight punches.
- As the clock ticked, Carlsson's buzzer-beater forced the shootout where Kyrou's ice-cool finish sealed the deal for St. Louis.
The Ducks, despite pulling off a back-and-forth frenzy, were left to rue yet another loss, marking seven in their last eight games. Thomas’ stellar play proved crucial, handing the Blues a much-needed win after tasting bitter defeat just a night before against the San Jose Sharks. This game was a nail-biter right to the last second!
