Dylan Holloway, Blues get better of Kings

Dylan Holloway scored a goal and earned an assist as the St. Louis Blues defeated the visiting Los Angeles Kings 4-1 on Saturday.

Colton Parayko, Pavel Buchnevich and Zack Bolduc also scored for the Blues, who extended their season-best winning streak to four games.

Jordan Binnington made 25 saves to run his point streak to six games (5-0-1).

Kevin Fiala scored and David Rittich made 30 saves for the Kings, who lost their third straight game.

The Kings struck first by scoring a power-play goal 3:43 into the game. From the center point, Drew Doughty set up Fiala for his successful shot from atop the right circle.

Parayko tied the game 1-1 midway through the period. He stepped in to take a pass from Jordan Kyrou and scored with a quick shot from the left face-off dot.

Buchnevich put the Blues up 2-1 with 1:53 left in the period. He pushed a bouncing puck deep into the Los Angeles zone, then he won the battle during the ensuing goal-mouth scramble.

The Blues carried the play for much of the second period. They generated multiple scoring chances, including Philip Broberg's shot off the rush from the left circle.

Bolduc increased the Blues' lead to 3-1 with a breakaway goal midway through the second period. Mathieu Joseph created the opportunity by blocking a pass in the neutral zone.

Rittich nearly handed St. Louis its fourth goal with a giveaway in front of his net, but he stopped Radek Faksa as he broke in alone.

Buchnevich beat Rittich with a slap shot from the blue line at the end of the period, but time expired a split second before the puck crossed the goal line.

Holloway made it 4-1 by scoring off the rush 1:34 into the third period. He broke up the right wing, cut to the high slot and beat Rittich to the glove side.
