Blues suffer in another extra-time defeat

The St. Louis Blues lost more than a shootout Friday night.

Jake Allen, Jay Bouwmeester, and Paul Stastny each suffered injuries (and Vladimir Tarasenko was bloodied in a fight), as St. Louis lost its third straight extra-time contest and fifth straight defeat overall on Ryan Getzlaf's shootout winner.

As their woes mount, the Blues will limp to Los Angeles and into the gauntlet, meeting the Kings on the second night of a back-to-back - and in search of their first win since Dec. 29.

Allen appeared to have injured his left leg in a collision with Corey Perry. He stayed in momentarily before a break in the action saw him leave his crease, forcing Brian Elliot into the game.

Bouwmeester and Stastny picked up upper-body injuries in the first period.
