Flames still winless after loss to Blues

Alex Pietrangelo had a goal and an assist to lead the St. Louis Blues to their first win of the season, a 5-2 decision over the Calgary Flames on Monday afternoon.

Alex Steen, Chris Stewart, Kevin Shattenkirk and Jason Arnott also scored. Andy McDonald added a pair of assists for the Blues while Jaroslav Halak stopped 15 shots.

Curtis Glencross and Jarome Iginla scored for the Flames, who have dropped their first two games of the season. Henrik Karlsson stopped 30 shots.

The Flames grabbed the early lead on Glencross’s second goal of the season. He skated into the high slot and beat Halak with a shot that deflected off a stick 8:03 into the game.

The Blues tied it with 1:09 left in the first on Steen’s first goal of the season. Steen followed Arnott’s shot and beat Karlsson for just his third career goal in 15 games against the Flames.

The Blues got two goals from their defencemen to take a 3-1 lead. Shattenkirk converted Jamie Langenbrunner’s backhand pass at 3:39 of the second before Pietrangelo’s blast from the right point with 4:30 left in the period gave the Blues a two-goal advantage.

But Iginla scored his first of the season and 27th in 57 career games against St. Louis to go along with 68 points with a power-play goal at 16:55.

Stewart took the puck after a poke-checked puck from Pietrangelo, went along the left side on a semi-break and put a backhand over Karlsson’s glove 3:44 into the third.

McDonald stripped a puck from Scott Hannan behind the goal and passed it to Arnott alone in the slot for the Blues’ fifth goal with 5:38 to play.
