NEWARK, N.J. — The Blues recovered from a 4–1 deficit to earn a standings point Thursday, but Jesper Bratt’s overtime breakaway gave the New Jersey Devils a 5–4 victory.
Mason McTavish began the St. Louis comeback in the third period. Philip Broberg brought the Blues within one goal, and Dalibor Dvorsky tied the score after a New Jersey turnover. Those three goals came in a span of 3:08.
Bratt ended the game 1:26 into overtime after taking a pass from Dougie Hamilton. The Devils had built their three-goal cushion with two goals only 19 seconds apart late in the second period.
Robert Thomas scored the Blues’ earlier goal on a power play. St. Louis moved to 7–7–2, while New Jersey improved to 11–5–0.
The comeback changed the outcome from a regulation loss to an overtime defeat, securing one point for the Blues.
