The St. Louis Blues gained some points on their extended road trip, but they really needed a win against the New Jersey Devils to not feel bad how the overall trip went. However, this was not the same Devils we've seen the last few years as they came into the game just a point out of first place in their division.
Nevertheless, St. Louis managed to get the first goal of the game yet again. That hasn't mattered much lately, but it's better than not.
Cam Fowler picked up his first of the season 2:16 into the period.
