WASHINGTON — Nathan Walker scored the go-ahead goal hours after being called up, helping the St. Louis Blues snap a three-game skid with a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.
Brandon Saad and Brayden Schenn each had a goal and an assist, and captain Ryan O’Reilly scored on the power play for St. Louis, which had lost seven of its past nine games. David Perron added an empty-netter to extend his goal-scoring streak to seven games, and Ville Husso made 19 saves for his 16th victory of the season.
