ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kevin Hayes scored a pair of goals and added an assist to help the St. Louis Blues beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1. Jake Neighbours and Robert Thomas also scored goals, and Jordan Binnington stopped 33 shots for St. Louis, which had lost its previous two contests. Curtis Lazar scored for the Devils, who lost center Jack Hughes to an upper-body injury early in the first period. Hughes, who entered the game with an NHL-leading 15 assists and 20 points, left the game after awkwardly crashing into the boards after being slightly hooked by Blues defenseman Torey Krug. No penalty was called.
