Game Recap: Blues 5, Canucks 2

Jimmy Snuggerud scored twice, pacing St. Louis to a 5–2 win over Vancouver.

Brayden Schenn added a goal and an assist, while Nick Bjugstad and Jake Neighbours also got goals for the Blues.

For Vancouver, Kiefer Sherwood was the lone bright spot with two goals, including one short-handed tally.

Kevin Lankinen started in net and made 30 saves, but gave up five goals on 35 shots.

The Blues struck early and often, including a power-play goal by Snuggerud and a 3-on-2 rush that restored their two-goal cushion.

🔍 Key Notes & Takeaways

The Canucks’ penalty kill, which had been spotless, finally cracked: Snuggerud scored on the power play—Vancouver’s first goal allowed in that area this season.

Vancouver showed spirit by getting goals back in the second via Sherwood, but couldn’t maintain momentum.

Offensively, other than Sherwood, the Canucks were quiet. The top lines struggled to consistently generate quality chances.

Defensively, the Blues’ transition game and odd-man rushes exposed some holes.

Lankinen’s stat line indicates he kept the game within reach, but the team in front of him needs to limit high-danger chances.
