VANCOUVER – Jimmy Snuggerud scored twice and the St. Louis Blues beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Monday.
Brayden Schenn contributed a goal and an assist for the Blues (2-1-0), while Nick Bjugstad buried his first of the season and Jake Neighbours added an empty-net strike with 2:13 left on the game clock.
Goalie Jordan Binnington stopped 29 of the 31 shots he faced as St. Louis won its second game in a row.
Kiefer Sherwood scored both Vancouver goals, including a short-handed tally on a breakaway midway through the second period.
Kevin Lankinen, making his first start of the season, registered 30 saves for the Canucks (1-2-0).
Blues centre Pius Suter made his return to Vancouver, where he played the last two seasons before signing with St. Louis as a free agent on July 2.
TAKEAWAYS
Canucks: The home side came into the game with a perfect penalty kill, but saw the streak snapped 8:13 into the second when Snuggerud popped a shot in past Lankinen on a St. Louis power play. Vancouver has killed 12-of-13 infractions to start the 2025-26 campaign.
Blues: Snuggerud led the Blues offence with six shots. The 21-year-old rookie now has seven points (three goals, four assists) across 10 regular-season NHL games to start his career.
KEY MOMENT
Less than two minutes after Sherwood cut Vancouver’s deficit to a single goal with a short-handed tally, Bjugstad replied for the Blues. The centre fired a rocket from inside the top of the faceoff circle 13:45 into the second to make it 4-2 for St. Louis.
KEY STAT
The Canucks’ power play went 0-for-1 on Monday, and is now 0-for-7 to start the season.
UP NEXT
Blues: Host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.
Canucks: Kick off a five-game road trip against the Stars in Dallas on Thursday.
