ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) \u2014 A banged-up Jordan Kyrou scored a hat trick and Brandon Saad tallied 2:05 into overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Jake Neighbours also scored for the Blues, who are 6-1 in their last seven games. Pavel Buchnevich had three assists and Jordan Binnington made 30 saves.<\/p>\n
Marco Rossi scored twice for the Wild. Marcus Johansson and Brock Faber also had goals for Minnesota, while Marc-Andre Fleury had 22 saves.<\/p>\n
The win moved the Blues two points ahead of the Wild, who both trail Vegas in the race for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The win was the Blues\u2019 third straight over the Wild, who fell to 6-2-2 in their last 10 as they opened a six-game homestand that could decide their playoff fate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know moving forward here over the last 11 games … the odds don\u2019t dictate that we can win this, get ourselves in a playoff position,\u201d Blues interim coach Drew Bannister said. \u201cBut I wouldn\u2019t bet (against) these guys. They just know how to win. There\u2019s too much character in the dressing room.\u201d <\/p>\n
In the extra period, Rossi almost completed his hat trick on a breakaway but Binnington got an arm on his attempt. Then on the other end, Saad worked a give-and-go with Kasperi Kapanen at the Minnesota blue line and broke free with the puck, beating Fleury between his pads with a wrister in front.<\/p>\n
