NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
COLORADO AVALANCHE 4, ST. LOUIS BLUES 3: J.T. Compher scored two goals while Darcy Kuemper made 15 saves as the Colorado Avalanche gave the St. Louis Blues their first loss of the season 4-3 Thursday night at Enterprise Center.
Both teams played without key players, as Colorado's Mikko Rantanen was out with a lower-body injury, and St. Louis' Ryan O'Reilly was out due to COVID-19 protocols.
Colton Parayko gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with a slap shot goal from the point at 9:21, but Colorado tied the game on Compher's first goal of the game, redirecting a shot past Jordan Binnington at 18:12. The Avalanche took the lead for good at 11:33 of the second period on a power-play goal to make it 2-1 for Colorado.
Nazem Kadri then made it 3-1 at 14:40, taking advantage of a turnover by St. Louis to rush in and score. Brayden Schenn made it 3-2 at 4:13 of the third on a nice pass from Jordan Kyrou, but Colorado got what turned out to be the winner from Cale Makar off a turnover at 4:51 to give the Avalanche a 4-2 lead. A goal off a great wrist shot by Vladimir Tarasenko at 16:01, but Kuemper shut the door and preserved the win for Colorado.
The Blues are now 5-1-0 on the year and end their home stand Saturday night against the Chicago Blackhawks in a 7 p.m. face-off. St. Louis then goes on the road for back-to-back games at Los Angeles Nov. 3 and San Jose Nov. 4, then play at Anaheim Nov. 7 and Winnipeg Nov. 9 before returning home to face Nashville Nov. 11.
