Blues mop up the Oil spill
The tired, and beat up St.Louis Blues faced off against the powerful Edmonton Oilers on friday night, only to see the Blues come out victorious. It was unlikely names to get some of offense started, as Todd Bertuzzi scored his 10th of the season from Daigle and Armstrong to give his team a quick 1-0 lead. Freshly called up Chris Campoli got a chance to play with the injuries to Kaspi and Teppo and he made the best of it, scoring his 1st NHL goal on a blistering shot from the point that eluded Emery.

Tons of hits, and shots kept fans on their feet as they saw the two backups challenge each other. Ray Emery was outstanding, making 35 saves on 37 shots but his counterpart, Chris Mason, shut the door down on the Oil stopping all 27 shots he faced to give the Blues a 2-0 win.

Another key note to this game was the Blues had 10 power play chances, but only convered on 1 of them. That's something that will have to be worked on in order for the Blues to keep winning some games. The Blues will now have a day off before travelling up to Pittsburgh to face the Pens.
