Radek Faksa had a goal and an assist, and Alexey Toropchenko had two assists for St. Louis (8-9-1), which has lost four straight (0-3-1). Jordan Binnington made 15 saves.

“We absolutely deserved to win that game, there was no doubt about it,” Blues coach Drew Bannister said. “If we had a little bit of puck luck, the game could have gotten out of hand at the end of the second period. I thought our guys were great in all three zones. We created a lot offensively.”

Trent Frederic scored twice and Joonas Korpisalo made 28 saves for Boston (8-8-3), which lost three of four (1-1-2).

“We try to be positive,” Frederic said. “I think guys are trying to have fun at the rink, and the staff is doing a good job of that. I would say there is clearly some frustration.

“I think everyone, the team doesn’t have the year that we predicted, or started that we thought we had done in the past and all that, but we can turn it around in a second, and I think it won’t take much . We’re not that far away.”

Nathan Walker made it 2-2 for St. Louis at 9:18 of the third period, receiving Faksa’s pass from behind the net and banking it in from the high slot.

“I just think we (Walker, Faksa, Toropchenko) like to keep it simple,” Walker said. “We know roughly what our strengths are (as a line), and we like to play to that. Of course, sometimes we succeed where we can end up on the score sheet, and sometimes we don’t. But tonight was just one of those games where a few things happened for us.”
