Blues Beat Sabres, Blackhawks Suffer Loss

By ESPN

Robby Fabbri insists nothing has changed since being a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. His play says otherwise.

Jaden Schwartz and Kyle Brodziak scored early in the third period to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Fabbri and Scottie Upshall also scored and Jake Allen made 23 saves for the Blues, who snapped a three-game skid and beat the Sabres for the ninth straight time.

"Maybe just more attention to little details, but my game's stayed the same," said Fabbri, who has scored three goals in two games since returning to the lineup. "Just trying to stick to that, stay positive and keep going here."

Sam Reinhart scored and Robin Lehner stopped 27 shots for the Sabres, who lost their fifth consecutive game.

The Blues are 4-0-2 in their last six at home and have allowed two goals or fewer in eight of their nine games at the Scottrade Center this season.

Schwartz broke a 1-1 tie 44 seconds into the third period on a rebound past a prone Lehner, who had made a sprawling save to stop Dmitrij Jaskin's breakaway moments before.

"It was a great play by Jask," Schwartz said. "He had a lot of speed and made a good power move and just a fortunate bounce for me. I think anyone could have put that in."

Brodziak tipped in Ryan Reaves' pass to give the Blues a 3-1 lead at 2:16 of the third. It was Brodziak's first goal since April 4 against Arizona.

Jets 4, Blackhawks 0

Connor Hellebuyck finally made the statement he was looking for all season.

Hellebuyck made 27 saves for his first shutout of the season, rookie Patrik Laine scored his NHL-leading 12th goal and the Winnipeg Jets beat the division-leading Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Tuesday night.

"I've been chasing it for a while and now I got the monkey off my back," Hellebuyck said.

The second year player got his third NHL shutout in a pivotal win for the second-place Jets.

"The statement," he said, "was that we've figured it out and now we know how to play and now we know we can play it."

Rookie defenseman Josh Morrissey scored his first career goal, while forwards Chris Thorburn and Nic Petan got their first scores of the season for the second-place Jets.

Nikolaj Ehlers had two assists, helping Winnipeg stretch its points streak to five games.

Chicago goalie Corey Crawford was replaced by Scott Darling after letting in four goals on 22 shots. Darling made two saves.
