Chicago went 3 for 4 on the power play, while St. Louis was 0
for 5 with the man advantage. The Blackhawks are 8 for 8 on the
penalty kill during their win streak.
Tyler Tucker, Otto Stenberg and Nathan Walker scored for St.
Louis in the opener of a three-game trip. Jordan Binnington
stopped 28 shots.
Chicago grabbed control in the second. Stenberg tied it at 2
with his first career goal at 8:22, but the Blackhawks regained
the lead 35 seconds later on Murphy's first of the season.
Slaggert got a piece of Colton Dach's shot at 12:27, and
Dickinson made it 5-2 when he redirected Crevier's shot for his
fifth goal with 2:36 left in the period.
Burakovsky added a power-play goal 5:11 into the third. It was
his first goal since Dec. 20 and No. 10 on the season.
Chicago improved to 5-6-1 in 12 games since Connor Bedard hurt
his right shoulder during a 3-2 loss at St. Louis on Dec. 12.
The 20-year-old center participated in the team's morning skate
and could return as soon as Friday against Washington.
The Blackhawks observed a pregame moment of silence for Hockey
Hall of Famers Glenn Hall and former coach and general manager
Bob Pulford. Hall, a goaltender who helped the team win the
Stanley Cup in 1961, died Wednesday at age 94. Pulford died
Monday.
Up next
Both teams play again on Friday night. The Blues visit the Utah
Mammoth, and the Blackhawks host the Capitals.
