QUICK CONCLUSIONS

BLUES The St. Louis Blues (6-6-0) ended their three-game losing streak with a 4-2 home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, closing out their season streak with a 2-0 victory.

The Maple Leafs were the first on the field at the start of the opening period. However, the Blues found the back of the net three times in the second half, with Colton Parayko lighting the lamp twice. Each team added another goal in the third period to tie the game.

The victory marked goaltender Jordan Binnington's 148th victory, tying him with Jake Allen for second all-time in franchise history. Binnington, who made 35 saves on the night, praised his team for their persistence and toughness in coming from behind to win.

“I feel like we've been pretty resilient in games all season and even if we concede a goal we can bounce back and fight until the end,” Binnington said. “And that’s how we have to play. Saturday night at home is a big win for us and we're just finding a way to do it and everyone plays a key role. So it was a fun evening.”

The Blues will be without defenseman Philip Broberg, who suffered a lower-body injury in the second period on Saturday. Head coach Drew Bannister announced Monday that Broberg would be out four to six weeks. He currently leads the Blues' defense and is second overall on the team with nine points (two goals, seven assists).

The Blues' duel against the Lightning is the second in a five-game homestand, with Utah, Washington and Boston still to come.

FLASH The Tampa Bay Lightning (7-5-0) enter Tuesday night's game on a two-game losing streak and most recently lost to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday by a score of 7-4.

The Lightning led the way in Winnipeg with two goals in the first period. The Jets responded with three consecutive goals before the Lightning tied the game at the end of the second period. The Jets beat the Lightning 4-1 in the final phase and took the win.

Tampa Bay will have a slightly different look after not re-signing veteran Steven Stamkos this summer. During the former captain's 16 seasons with the franchise, he amassed 1,137 points (555 goals, 582 assists) and led the team to two Stanley Cup championships. However, the Lightning acquired forward Jake Guentzel from the Carolina Hurricanes and signed him to a long-term extension. In his 10th yearTh In his season in the NHL, Guentzel has 504 points (232 goals, 272 assists).

Last season, the Lightning finished sixth in the Eastern Conference and secured the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. They lost in five games in the first round to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers.
