Jake Allen made 24 saves as St. Louis improved to 13-1-3 on home ice.Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said Tarasenko is showing an all-around game.The part that was good for me was in the third period, he competed defensively, Hitchcock said.

I think youre starting to see the maturity in a player, which is a really good sign for this franchise.Adam Henrique and Miles Wood scored for the Devils, while Cory Schneider made 26 saves.

Brad Hunt got an assist and has a point in all four games with the Blues since being called up from the AHL on Dec. 8.I thought the one that got us going was the first goal, Hitchcock said. Hes (Tarasenko) not feeling great, hes on for both goals, and then to get one back on the power play kind of just brought us back. To me, we were off and running after that goal.Schneider said Tarasenko has one of the best shots in the league.He can hold his stick up high, he can look you off or just shoot it at a moments notice without any windup or anything like that, Schneider said. Hes always been a tough guy to play against and to read and hes obviously one of the premier players in the league.Lehtera deflected a shot by Robby Fabbri for the Blues at 2:05 of the second period to tie it 2-2.
