Former Oilers Lead Blues to Overtime WIn


Eric Brewer scored 2:04 into overtime and the St. Louis Blues extended Edmonton's losing streak to 10 games with a 3-2 victory over the Oilers on Saturday night.

Petr Cajanek and Jeff Woywitka also scored for the Blues.

Kyle Brodziak and Shawn Horcoff countered for Edmonton, which has been outscored 37-9 during their streak, which is one loss short of the club record. The Oilers' losing streak started one game before they traded Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders at the NHL trade deadline.

Cajanek opened the scoring with 2:20 left to go in the first period, blasting a shot past Oilers goalie Dwayne Roloson for his 13th goal of the season.

Edmonton made it 1-1 just 40 seconds later when Brodziak picked up a loose puck in front of the Blues goal and beat goalie Curtis Sanford with a shot through his legs for first career NHL goal.

Woywitka's first career goal put the Blues back ahead 13 minutes into the second. Oiler rookie defenseman Brian Young's attempt to redirect a pass went right to a pinching Woywitka, who converted the miscue.

The Blues are back home Tuesday night to take on the high-powered Ottawa Senators. The puck drops at 7:05 PM CT.
