The teams opened with a fast-paced but low-event first period. The Blues had one sustained shift in the Islanders’ zone but Oliver Wahlstrom, then Cizikas blocked shots from defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph, Sorokin blockered away defenseman Matthew Kessel’s hard blast and then smothered Kasperi Kapanen’s shot at 16:12.

Jake Neighbours' goal at 2:04 of overtime gave the St. Louis Blues a 1-0 victory over the visiting New York Islanders on Thursday night. Ilya Sorkin made 29 saves in the defeat.
