Blues 2, Oilers 1: Paul Stastny snapped a tie late in the third period as visiting St. Louis completed a sweep of the three-game season series.

Stastny also set up Dmitrij Jaskin's goal for the Blues, who have won five straight contests at Rexall Place. Patrik Berglund and defenseman Ian Cole each recorded an assist while Brian Elliott made 21 saves as St. Louis climbed within five points of first-place Nashville in the Central Division.

Blue-liner Justin Schultz netted the lone tally for the Oilers, who have lost four of their last five home games - scoring fewer than two goals in each defeat. Ben Scrivens turned aside 25 shots in a losing effort.

The Blues opened the scoring with 7:49 remaining in the first period. After a turnover at the blue line, Stastny made a cross-slot pass to Jaskin, who one-timed it past Scrivens from the right faceoff circle for his 10th of the season.

Edmonton drew even 6 1/2 minutes into the middle session as Schultz beat Elliott to the glove side with a snap shot from above the slot. Stastny restored St. Louis' lead with 5:40 left in the third, carrying the puck from the left point to the high slot before ripping a backhander past Scrivens.
