ST. LOUIS — Home ice was anything but friendly to the Blues at the start of the season. With the playoffs approaching, they’re looking pretty comfortable in St. Louis — and made a statement against the hottest team in the NHL. Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist, Jordan Binnington made 39 saves, and the Blues snapped Tampa Bay’s seven-game winning streak with a 4-3 victory over the league-leading Lightning on Saturday night. Thomas put the Blues in front at 10:30 when he one-timed Vince Dunn’s rebound past Vasilevskiy for his eighth goal. Tarasenko made it 3-0 when he scored his team-leading 29th goal at 12:45 to give St. Louis three goals in 1:15.
