Blues snap Blue Jackets' 10-game win streak, grab 5th straight victory

The St. Louis Blues foiled the Columbus Blue Jackets' quest to gain sole possession of the longest win streak in the NHL this season, halting Columbus' run at 10 games with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.

St. Louis earned its fifth consecutive win in the process, moving past the Anaheim Ducks and into the second Western Conference wild-card spot by virtue of having five more regulation or overtime wins.

The five-game run is the Blues' longest of the 2017-18 campaign.

On Thursday, the Blue Jackets tied the Nashville Predators and Colorado Avalanche for the longest such streak in the NHL this season with their 10th straight victory in a shutout win over the Florida Panthers.
