TARASENKO’S OT GOAL LIFTS BLUES TO TOP OF LEAGUE STANDINGS 
Vladimir Tarasenko (1-1—2) scored with 35.2 seconds remaining in overtime to guide the Blues (21-8-2, 44 points) to their fourth consecutive victory and into a tie, in terms of points, with the Lightning (21-6-2, 44 points) for first overall in the League standings.

Tarasenko scored his first overtime goal of the season and eighth of his career (372 GP) to surpass Pavol Demitra for the most in Blues franchise history. Tarasenko has notched all eight overtime goals since the start of the 2014-15 season, tied with Flames forward Sean Monahan for the most in the NHL over that span.

Brayden Schenn (1-0—1) has scored at least a goal in four consecutive games (6-1—7 in 4 GP) and ranks tied for fifth in the League with 16-21—37 in 31 GP this season.

MCELHINNEY, MAPLE LEAFS SHUT OUT OILERS FOR 20TH WIN
Zach Hyman scored 34 seconds into the contest and Curtis McElhinney made a season-high 41 saves to help the Maple Leafs improve to 20-10-1 (41 points) this season.

The Maple Leafs became the 10th team in NHL history, and second in consecutive nights (CBJ: 1-0 W vs. ARI on Dec. 9), to score an opening-minute goal and go on to earn a 1-0 regulation win.

QUICK STARTS LEAD TO SUCCESS

The Blues (0:40) and Maple Leafs (0:34) both opened the scoring in the first minute of play en route to victories. Teams that open the scoring in the first minute of regulation own a 22-9-2 record in 2017-18.
