Despite losing Scott Nichol and Carlo Colaiacovo and having a goal waved off, the St. Louis Blues found a way to pull out a win against a good road team. The Blues lost Nichol after he was ejected for spearing, and Colaiacovo went out with a hamstring injury in the first period. The Blues had a goal disallowed in the second period, but none of it mattered. David Backes scored twice, Jaroslav Halak stopped 20 shots, and the Blues beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Thursday night.
