Singing the Blues

St. Louis 6, Columbus 4

            Four third-period goals fueled the Blues’ incredible comeback in the Scotttrade Center on Sunday.

            After 40 minutes of play, the Blue Jackets led their central division rival 3-2 with goals coming from forwards Derek Dorsett, Derek MacKenzie, and Mark Letestu.

            Having had enough, St. Louis picked up its game in the third period stole the momentum. Four different players tallied for the Blues, exposing Steve Mason who continues to try to regain his title of the team’s top goalie.

            Mason allowed five goals on 33 shots. On the other end of the rink, St. Louis goaltender Jaroslav Halak made 28 saves.

            Extra-curricular activity after the whistles kept the officials busy the entire night. Twice, pent-up anger between the teams turned to fisticuffs. The rough brand of hockey could carry over when the teams square off again February 14.
