The Blues swept the season series and have won their last five games against the Canucks.

Tarasenko extended the Blues’ lead to 3-1 just 14 seconds into the third period, slipping Jaden Schwartz’s pass between Nilsson’s legs. Tarasenko missed the previous two games with an upper-body injury.

Jaskin’s sixth goal of the season with 2:29 left sealed it for St. Louis.
