David Perron and Ryan O’Reilly scored in a shootout, and the St. Louis Blues earned their first shootout victory of the season in a wild 5-4 road win over the Calgary Flames. The Blues, who lost their first three shootout games of the season, snapped a three-game overall losing streak in big part thanks to goaltender Jordan Binnington, who stopped 27 shots through regulation and overtime. Calgary’s Sean Monahan hit the goalpost with the first attempt in the shootout, and Binnington stopped Matthew Tkachuk’s backhand try. The Flames regained the lead in the second period, though. Monahan netted his second goal of the night — and the team’s third power-play goal — at 4:40 of the frame to tie the game 3-3.
