Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Justin Barron scored a goal and added three assists as the St. Louis Blues defeated the Vegas Golden Knights by a score of 6-2 in an NHL game at Enterprise Center in St. Louis. Dylan Holloway contributed two goals and one assist for the Blues, while Jimmy Snuggerud, Pavel Buchnevich, and Mason McTavish also scored. Joel Hofer made 27 saves for the Blues, who improved their home record to 3-0-1 this season.

The Golden Knights struggled with just two goals from Brett Howden and Jack Eichel, despite Aidan Hill making 25 saves. Forward Mitch Marner did not play due to a family matter related to the birth of his second child; he had been on a seven-game point streak before sitting out.

This victory extended the Blues' power-play goal streak to five games, their longest such streak since January 3-10.
