The St. Louis Blues became the first team in the Western Conference to hit the 70-point mark Tuesday by ending a two-game losing streak.
The Stanley Cup champion took down the Calgary Flames in a shootout to conclude a small slate of games, as some franchises are still off due to the extended All-Star break.
In Tuesday's other NHL contest, Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel set a career high in goals in a loss to the Ottawa Senators.
Although the achievement was nice for the player, Buffalo failed to gain ground in the wild-card race, as it let up three third-period tallies to the Senators.
