Blues Move Into First Place Tie, NHL Scores

Patrik Berglund and Jake Allen helped the St. Louis Blues move into a tie for first place in the Central Division.

Berglund scored the shootout winner in the 11th round and the Blues beat the Senators 4-3 on Tuesday night.

The Blues are tied with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Dallas Stars with 83 points in the Central.

Trailing 3-0, the Senators scored three unanswered goals to force overtime, including a goal by Jean-Gabriel Pageau with less than a second left in the third period.

Allen said this was one of the stranger shootouts he's been involved in.

"That's probably the longest I've been without a goal on either side," he said. "Usually if they go that long there's a couple goals in between, but it's the way it goes. Sometimes you can't stop any and sometimes you can stop them all."

Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson made 28 saves on 31 shots before leaving the game at the 13:41 mark of the second period.

Andrew Hammond stopped 17 shots in relief of Anderson and made a number of huge saves to keep the Senators in the game. It was Hammond's first appearance since Feb. 11.
