Blues Edge Kings in Overtime, NHL Scores

Jaden Schwartz has wasted no time making an impact for the St. Louis Blues.

Schwartz, in his fourth game back after missing 49 with a broken ankle, scored 1:40 into overtime as the Blues beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Thursday night. It was Schwartz's third goal and the Blues are undefeated since his return.

Schwartz showed no ill effects from the injury, corralling a loose puck in front of his own net and racing the length of the ice to score on a breakaway.

"It was kind of a little bit of a scramble in front and the puck just kind of bounced and it was a race from there," Schwartz said. "(Vincent) Lecavalier was chasing me and I just tried to get the puck on net and I think it hit the post then bounced off (Jonathan) Quick's back and in. That's probably the longest breakaway I'll ever have."

Robby Fabbri scored a power-play goal in the first period for St. Louis and Brian Elliott made 34 of 35 saves as he improved to 11-3-3 since Jake Allen was injured on Jan. 8.

Tyler Toffoli scored for the Kings, who have lost three straight.

The Blues improved to 9-2-1 against teams from the Pacific Division, have won four straight and have points in their last six games.
