Ducks 4, Blues 2: Corey Perry scored a power-play goal to snap a tie early in the third period and added an empty-net tally as Anaheim matched a franchise record with its 11th consecutive home victory.
Bobby Ryan scored to extend his point streak to seven games and Andrew Cogliano added a short-handed goal. Defenseman Francois Beauchemin had three assists and Jonas Hiller turned aside 29 shots for the Ducks, who posted their first 11-game home winning streak since the 2009-10 season.
Patrik Berglund recorded his team-leading 13th goal and fourth-liner Ryan Reaves added his first of the campaign. Jaroslav Halak finished with 18 saves for the Blues, who concluded their season-high five-game homestand with a 2-3-0 mark.
After Ryan cleaned up Beauchemin's point shot to forge a 2-2 tie at 3:11 of the third period, Perry gave Anaheim its first lead just over two minutes later. Perry deftly deflected captain Ryan Getzlaf's shot from the edge of the right faceoff circle between Halak's pads.
Reaves opened the scoring at 6:09 of the first period after tipping defenseman Wade Redden's shot past Hiller for his first goal since March 25, 2012. The tally ended Anaheim's scoreless streak at 135 minutes, 32 seconds. Cogliano leveled the contest at 1-1 at 8:24 of the second after scoring on a short-handed breakaway.
