Blues 6, Blue Jackets 2: Patrik Berglund scored twice and host St. Louis rallied with six unanswered goals to extend its winning streak to five games.

Vladimir Sobotka and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo each had a goal and an assist and Maxim Lapierre and Jaden Schwartz scored as the Blues erased a 2-0 deficit to improve to 8-0-0 against Eastern Conference opponents. Brian Elliott won his sixth consecutive start, turning aside 22 shots to help St. Louis boost its home record to 17-3-2.

Artem Anisimov and Mark Letestu scored first-period goals for Columbus, which lost for the third time in four games. Curtis McElhinney garnered an assist and made 31 saves in dropping to 0-5-0 lifetime against the Blues.

St. Louis went ahead when Sobotka and Lapierre scored 94 seconds apart late in the second period, the latter goal coming on a rocket from the top of the right circle with 2:31 left in the session. Bergland redirected a pass from Vladimir Tarasenko past McElhinney 14 seconds into the third and Schwartz made it a 5-2 lead 8 1/2 minutes later with his seventh goal in eight games.

Letestu scored a bizarre goal at 11:22 of the opening period when he tossed a shot toward the the net that hit a Blues defender, deflected high in the air and went over Elliott's shoulder to make it 2-0. Berglund started the comeback just past the seven-minute mark of the second period when he deflected defenseman Barret Jackman's shot from the right point past McElhinney.
