Dylan Holloway and Kolton Parayko scored for the Blue (23-24-4), who went 0-3-0 in three games. Jordan Binington was drawn after he had taken three goals in 18 shots. Joel Hofer made 10 savings with relief.
“It’s not good enough in every area,” said St. Louis Jim Montgomery coach. “Special teams, game 5 to 5, D-zone, neutral zone, O-zone, coaching. We were not all good enough tonight. It is not acceptable. “
Garland made 1-0 at 2:52 of the first period. After the Blues lost possession in the offensive area, Hughes cut the free washer along Matjo Joseph in the neutral area, skated 2-on-1 and sent rear food to Garland for entry into the right post.
Tyler Tucker seemed to be tied to St. Louis at 15:00, but the goal was waved after employees determined that Hollway had influenced Lancinen’s ability to play his position. Montgomery challenged the decision, but the call was confirmed after a video review, which led to a delay in the penalty for the game.
“The washer was around the net. I was trying to go to the paint, to get in front of the goalkeeper, “said Holloway. “I felt I was a little in the back, but I realized that it was a difficult call to roll over the Ref. I felt they were pushing me and I couldn’t get out of the road, but I guess I was coming to some parallel with the goalkeeper. It seemed like I’m going there anyway. “
Garland made 2-0 in the subsequent play of power at 15:53. He stood up to a rebound that sneaked behind Binington, who thought he had saved the Broock Boyser shot from the high slot.
“Obviously, a good start,” Tokchet said. “The Power Play was good to achieve this for us. I thought we started on time. The first period set us up for the game. “
