Until Thursday, that is. Wearing their yellow “reverse retro” jerseys, there was no reversing of the Blues’ winning streak. They defeated the Washington Capitals 5-4 in a shootout at Enterprise Center — and just like that — they have reached the .500 mark at 8-8-0 with their fifth consecutive victory. The Moms’ trip, of course, is over. But most of the mothers returned from Chicago to St. Louis to watch their sons play Thursday, sitting in random seats — and not a box or suite. Most are staying for the remainder of the home stand, which includes successive home games against Anaheim on Saturday and Monday. Making his fourth start of the year, backup goalie Thomas Greiss got his first victory as a member of the Blues. And with Colton Parayko out of the lineup again with an upper-body injury, rookie Tyler Tucker played in his second NHL game. After taking what seemed like a commanding 3-0 lead in the first period, the Blues almost frittered away that advantage. The Capitals came at them hard for most of the final two periods. The last pressure point came with 5:38 left why the rarely-penalized Ryan O’Reilly was whistled for his second minor of the game — a tripping penalty. Working the puck around masterfully, John Carlson was left open in the left circle and whistled one past Greiss to make it a 4-3 game with 4:03 left. And just 1:12 later Conor Sheary tied it with 3:03 left. With 2:23 left, the puck ended up in the net again on a deflection by Nic Dowd. But the play was reviewed for a high stick by Dowd and disallowed. So it went to overtime and then a shootout with Pavel Buchnevich scoring the game winner in the sixth round. [/QUOTE]
