Six different Blues score in comeback victory over Wild

Six different players scored for the St. Louis Blues, who came from behind to defeat the visiting Minnesota Wild 6-3 on Monday night.

Jimmy Snuggerud had a goal and an assist for the Blues (35-33-12, 82 points), who are out of playoff contention but have won four of their last six games. Joel Hofer made 28 saves.

Nick Foligno had a goal and an assist, and Filip Gustavsson made 16 saves for the Wild (45-24-12, 102 points), who had nine regular players out of the lineup to rest up for the Stanley Cup playoffs, which starts on Saturday. They have lost three straight.

Colton Parayko gave St. Louis the early 1-0 lead at 1:22 of the first period. His slap shot through traffic narrowly beat Gustavsson five-hole and trickled over the goal line.

Foligno tied the game 1-1 on a power play at 14:46. Yakov Trenin's shot ricocheted off the post, and Foligno scored on the rebound.

Danila Yurov extended Minnesota's lead to 2-1 at 19:13. The Wild went on another power play after Parayko went to the box for boarding Yurov and getting into a scrum with Trenin. Valdimir Tarasenko set Yurov up with a cross-ice pass, and the winger scored on a wrist shot.

Hunter Haight appeared to score his first NHL goal at 1:13 of the second period and increase the Wild's lead to 3-1, but the goal was waved off for goaltender interference. Michael McCarron successfully made it 3-1 on a short-handed attempt at 1:59. The Blues turned the puck over in the offensive zone, and Foligno broke up the ice before setting McCarron up.

The Blues appeared to retaliate with a power-play goal at 3:35, but the goal was waived off for being offside. Otto Stenberg successfully buried the second goal for St. Louis at 4:04, and Pavel Buchnevich scored his own at 4:31 to tie the game 3-3.

Cam Fowler almost gave the Blues their first lead of the game, 4-3, at 12:07, but that goal was also waved off for being offside. Theo Lindstein's backhanded shot wasn't contested at 16:41, and St. Louis officially took the 4-3 advantage.

Jake Neighbours increased the lead to 5-3 at 3:05 of the third period with a wrist shot.

Snuggerud iced the puck into an empty net with 3:04 remaining in regulation for the 6-3 final.
