Ryan Callahan of the Rangers tied it up on the power play 5:52 into the period.
With 2:52 left, Marian Gaborik scored his team high 37th goal to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.
I might add the Blues had two breakaway chances to score but they weren't able to do so. The second one however did hit the post.
In the second period, the Blues were outplayed but they still managed to score 2 unanswered goals that gave them a 3-2 lead.
Mike Weaver notched his first goal of the season which tied the game at 2.
In the third period, the Rangers had a golden chance to tie the game when the Blues got called for 2 different delay of game penalties in the first minute.
They failed to do so.
Later in the period, they did tie the game at 3 when defenseman Wade Redden put one past Ty Conklin, the Blues netminder with 12:49 left in the game.
The game remained tied briefly. Just one minute and 13 seconds later, the Blues regained the lead when Paul Kariya redirected a shot in front of the net which proved to be the difference in the game. It was his 400th career NHL goal and it was a memorable one.
The Rangers mounted pressure in hopes of tying the game but it wasn't meant to be tonight.
Despite outshooting the Blues 29-16, they came up on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
