St. Louis Just Buried Anaheim 6-2 and They're Still Clawing Back Into the Playoff Picture
The St. Louis Blues are not dead yet. Not even close. They rolled into the Honda Center on Thursday night and absolutely demolished the Anaheim Ducks 6-2, a statement win that keeps their playoff dreams alive with just seven games left to play. Yeah, they're still three points outside a spot, but this? This is the kind of performance that makes you believe.
Dylan Holloway Was the Man of the Hour
Dylan Holloway lit up the scoreboard with two goals, and Robert Thomas was doing everything on the ice, racking up a three-point night with one goal and two assists. That's playoff-caliber stuff right there. Pius Suter and Colton Parayko also found the back of the net, with both adding an assist to their goals. Jonatan Berggren sealed the deal late in the first period when he buried a chance off a Ducks turnover with 76 seconds left in the frame, basically telling everyone this game was over.

Anaheim Just Couldn't Stay With Them
The Ducks came out swinging, with Ryan Poehling redirecting home a Mason MacTavish shot just 91 seconds in. For a moment, it looked like Anaheim was going to make a run of it. But the Blues answered back immediately, and what started as a back-and-forth battle turned into a complete blowout by the third period. Jeffrey Viel got one back for Anaheim, but that was basically it. The Ducks (41-30-5, 87 points) are now winless in their last four games (0-3-1) and just lost their grip on the top spot in the Pacific Division. Goalie Lukas Dostal made 23 saves, but it wasn't enough.
For the Blues, this win matters. A lot. Seven games to make something happen. That's playoff hockey season already in St. Louis.
