ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Robert Thomas and Alex Pietrangelo scored 12 seconds apart late in the third period as the St. Louis Blues rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night.
Jaycob Megna had a goal and an assist for Anaheim while Nick Ritchie, Rickard Rakell and Adam Henrique also scored. Rookie Troy Terry had three assists and John Gibson made 28 saves.
Anaheim trailed 3-1 midway through the second but then scored three straight goals. Henrique got his 14th at 5:07 of the third when Binnington had a hard time keeping Megna's wrist shot in his glove. The puck bobbled out of Binnington's glove and Henrique pounced on the rebound to give the Ducks a 4-3 advantage.
Ritchie opened the scoring when he took a pass from Terry behind the net, skated out and beat Binnington on his stick side at 5:28 of the first for this ninth of the season and first since Feb. 9.
St. Louis then took the lead with a pair of power-play goals. Schenn was in front of the net and redirected Tarasenko's pass at 8:03 for his 12th. Seven minutes later, O'Reilly put a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle past a screened Gibson for his 25th.
The Blues took a 3-1 lead at 13:53 of the second when Thomas buried a wrist shot through traffic late in the power play for his sixth.
The Ducks rallied to tie it with two goals 2:12 apart. Rakell put in a one-timer from the left faceoff circle off Troy Terry's pass on the power play with 4:21 left. The Ducks then tied it with 2:09 remaining in the period when Megna's wrist shot from the point went through traffic for his first NHL goal.
NOTES: The Ducks allowed three power-play goals for the second time this season, and the 15th time since 2009-10. ... Anaheim D Cam Fowler played in his 606th game for the Ducks, which tied Paul Kariya for fifth in franchise history. ... O'Reilly has a team-leading 65 points, which is a new career high surpassing the 64 he had in 2013-14 with Colorado. ... Terry is the first Anaheim rookie to record three assists in a game since Fowler on Jan. 7, 2011 vs. Columbus.
