Doug Weight and Petr Cajanek had a goal and an assist and the St. Louis Blues beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-2 Tuesday night.
D.J. King scored his first career goal, and Radek Dvorak and Barret Jackman also scored for the Blues, who have won three of their past four.
Daniel Carcillo and Jeremy Roenick scored for the Coyotes, who have lost 13 of their past 15 games.
Weight gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead 3:12 into the game when he pounced on a long rebound at the bottom of the right faceoff circle and fired the puck over goalie Curtis Joseph.
Cajanek was credited with a goal at 6:53 of the first period when his pass from the left wing was deflected into the net by Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek.
Carcillo cut the Blues lead to 2-1 when he redirected Keith Ballard's shot from the point past Jason Bacashihua. Jackman fired a shot from the top of the right circle over Joseph's glove to put St. Louis ahead 3-1.
Dvorak made it 4-1 at 9:12 when he tucked a shot just under the crossbar. Roenick pulled the Coyotes within 4-2 at 14:25 on a redirection off a Shane Doan shot from the high slot, but King added his goal a little more than two minutes later from the bottom of the left circle.
The Blues will continue the road stand when they play the Nashville Predators Thursday night. The puck will drop at 7:00 PM ET.
