In a thrilling overtime match, Connor Brown netted the decisive goal to secure a 3-2 victory for the Edmonton Oilers against the St. Louis Blues. Connor McDavid shone with a goal and two assists, while Leon Draisaitl contributed with a goal and an assist.

The Oilers took an early advantage with McDavid's power play goal in the second period, but the Blues fought back as Jordan Kyrou and Colton Parayko scored to briefly hold the lead. However, Draisaitl’s late game-tying goal set the stage for Brown’s overtime heroics.

Stuart Skinner made a significant impact in goal for Edmonton, making 20 saves, while Jordan Binnington stopped 35 shots for St. Louis, which has struggled recently, marking their fifth loss in six games.

Brandon Saad's time with the St. Louis Blues is coming to an end as the team and the veteran forward have mutually agreed to terminate his contract. This decision follows Saad being placed on waivers earlier in the week, and he will need to clear waivers again for the contract termination to be finalized. At 32 years old, Saad is opting to walk away from a significant amount of money, approximately $5.425 million.

The Blues were unable to trade Saad despite efforts over the past several months, largely due to his lack of production this season and the tight salary cap situation. Blues GM Doug Armstrong expressed that Saad’s current performance did not meet expectations, recording just 16 points in 43 games, with a shooting percentage that is among the lowest in his career.

As a two-time Stanley Cup champion, Saad had been under contract for one more season with a $4.5 million cap hit, which made other teams hesitant to claim him off waivers. The termination of Saad's contract now allows the Blues to have more financial flexibility as they aim to retool the roster amidst a transitional phase that has already seen management changes.

Mark Stone ignited the Vegas Golden Knights' offense just 19 seconds into their game against the St. Louis Blues, setting the tone for a 4-2 victory that halted a four-game losing streak. In a match that saw the Knights struggle recently, they turned things around with contributions from Victor Olofsson, Pavel Dorofeyev, and Tomas Hertl, who sealed the win by scoring into an empty net. Meanwhile, Ilya Samsonov was crucial in goal, making 15 saves. The Blues were unable to find their rhythm, managing only 27 shots against a resolute Vegas defense.

Dorofeyev's power-play goal marked his team-leading 21st of the season, while both Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas found the net for the Blues. Kyrou's response came shortly after Olofsson's early strike, but the Blues struggled to maintain offensive pressure throughout the night. Notably, the Golden Knights improved to a perfect record when holding opponents under 20 shots this season, displaying a solid defensive effort to back their early scoring.

Brayden Schenn's two goals and Jordan Kyrou's 20th of the season led the St. Louis Blues to a decisive 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, completing a sweep of the two-game series at home. The Blues had previously edged the Flames 2-1 on Tuesday, solidifying their dominance over Calgary.

Colton Parayko contributed with a goal while Joel Hofer made 28 saves. The Flames' lone goal came from Yegor Sharangovich, with goalie Dustin Wolf stopping 25 shots. St. Louis was quick to take control, scoring three times in the first period with Schenn netting the first goal early in the game.
