St. Louis tops Toronto, gets franchise-record 11th win in row

In the beginning of the season, the Blues were finding ways to lose games. Now, they’re managing to pull out wins.

Ryan O’Reilly scored 34 seconds into overtime and the Blues beat Toronto 3-2 in St. Louis on Tuesday night for their franchise-record 11th straight victory.

“It’s fun hockey,” O’Reilly said. “We’re really enjoying it. You see from the start of the year how frustrating it was and how we kept working and working and not getting the result. Now, you see the way we’ve come together and everybody’s invested in each other. Everyone’s trying to make it easier for the next guy. Again, that wasn’t a perfect game.”

O’Reilly started the game-winning sequence with a stellar defensive play to break up a Toronto chance.
