Blues Down Penguins, 5-2, NHL News

Paul Stastny and the rest of the Blues' top line turned in a clutch performance Monday night.

Stastny had a goal and three assists, and linemates Alexander Steen and Troy Brouwer each added a goal and an assist for St. Louis in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"We talked a little bit before the game that the last few games we've been a little bit stagnant," Brouwer said, "so we wanted to be a difference-maker tonight and we were."

Stastny's four-point game, his first since signing with the Blues before last season, fueled the line's eight-point effort.

"I think we just work for each other," Stastny said. "We're getting more and more comfortable. I think we've had chances and today they started falling."

Vladimir Tarasenko and Kevin Shattenkirk also scored for the Blues, who have won four of five following a five-game losing streak. Brian Elliott followed up his career-high 46 saves Saturday by stopping 36 shots against Pittsburgh.
