Dylan Guenther scores the starting goal for Utah in a 4-2 win over the Blues

ST. LOUIS – Dylan Guenther scored the go-ahead rush with 3:21 left to give Utah a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.

Guenther deflected a pass from Jordan Kyrou to create a 2-on-1 break, and his shot deflected off the hip of a slipping Colton Parayko and over the shoulder of St. Louis goaltender Joel Hofer to give Utah the lead bring to.

Jack McBain added an empty-net goal in the final seconds, and Matias Maccelli and Michael Kesselring added the other goals for Utah. Kesselring scored 18 seconds into the game.

Kyrou tied the score with a one-timer with 6:31 to play. Parayko also scored and Pavel Buchnevich provided the first assist on both of the Blues' goals.

Hofer made 27 saves for St. Louis, while Utah goalkeeper Karel Vejmelka only had to stop 13 shots.

Takeaways

St. Louis: Parayko has four goals in 14 games this season. He tied the game at 1-1 with a wrist shot with 1:19 left in the first period.

Utah: Utah held the Blues to two shots in the second period and 15 in the game.

Key moment

Kyrou made the crucial mistake right in the Blues' offensive zone and attempted a drop pass that was pushed aside by Guenther and led to the game-winning goal.

Key statistics

After a scuffle between Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Maveric Lamoureux, the Blues didn't get a shot on goal for three minutes on the power play early in the second period. St. Louis also failed to score on two power plays in the first period, including a two-man lead with 26 seconds left.
