The Blues completed a two-game sweep of the Flames with a 4-1 win on Thursday, taking all four points from a Calgary team in a series key to playoff hopes.

The St. Louis Blues visit the Utah Hockey Club after Brayden Schenn scored two goals in the Blues' 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames.

Blues started game with purpose, made early statement; Schenn line was dominant; power play goal late in second stunted Calgary's surge

The Blues outshot the Flames 15-7 in the first period and had a 14-4 edge at one point. St. Louis captain Brayden Schenn opened the scoring at 4:55 after a turnover behind the Calgary net, taking a pass from Dylan Holloway and roofing a shot high farside from one knee.

Not only is the Flames' penalty kill the worst road unit in the league, but its 68.7 per cent efficiency rate ranks them lower than any other Flames team in club history. That number wasn’t improved upon in Thursday's loss to the Blues.

The Blues swept a back-to-back against the club directly ahead of them in the standings. Now they try for the elusive third win in a row.

Brayden Schenn scored twice, Jordan Kyrou had his 20th goal and the St. Louis Blues beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set in St. Louis. On Tuesday night, the Blues beat the Flames 2-1.

Brayden Schenn's two goals lead the Blues to a 4-1 win over the Flames, completing a season sweep. St. Louis scored three first-period goals, with Joel Hofer making 28 saves in the victory.
