VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Dylan Holloway scored 1:40 into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat Vancouver 4-3 on Tuesday night, spoiling the return of Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko from a knee injury.

Robert Thomas had a short-handed goal and two assists for the Blues. Zack Bolduc and Jordan Kyrou also scored, and Joel Hofer stopped 22 shots.

Vancouver got a goal and an assist from Elias Pettersson. Dakota Joshua and Jake DeBrusk also scored, while Brock Boeser and Conor Garland each had two assists.

Demko made 21 saves in his first start for the Canucks since injuring his knee April 21 at the beginning of the 2024 playoffs. The two-time All-Star finished runner-up for the Vezina Trophy last season.

Blues forward Radek Faksa headed straight to the dressing room when it appeared he was cut by a skate.

Blues: Holloway continues to provide offense. The center, acquired via an offer sheet last summer, also assisted on Bolduc’s goal and extended his point streak to seven games (six goals, five assists).

Canucks: With Demko back, Vancouver came closer to having its full lineup for the first time this season. The team is still missing defenseman Derek Forbort (lower body) and star center J.T. Miller, who remains on indefinite leave for a personal issue. Miller joined his teammates for the morning skate on Tuesday.

St. Louis was down a man when Thomas picked up a bobbled puck in the neutral zone and streaked up the ice on a breakaway. His shot beat Demko stick side to put the Blues up 2-1 at 17:30 of the first period. It was St. Louis’ first short-handed goal of the season.

The Canucks have earned at least a point in five of their last six games.

Blues: Visit the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

Canucks: Continue a six-game homestand against the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Thursday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Frank Vatrano had two goals and assist after signing a three-year contract extension Sunday, John Gibson picked up his 200th NHL win and the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1.

Troy Terry also had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who have won four of their last six. Jackson Lacombe put it out of reach at 16:26 of the third.

Gibson, the third active U.S.-born goaltender to reach that milestone, stopped 36 shots.

Jake Guentzel had a power-play goal in the second period for Tampa Bay. Nikita Kucherov picked up his 38th assist and 55th point, both fifth in the league.

Jonas Johansson made 22 saves. Tampa Bay has dropped at least three straight for the second time this season.

Vatrano — whose extension through the 2027-28 season will pay him $3 million in each of the next three seasons — redirected Jacob Trouba's shot past Johansson with 2:57 remaining in the first, giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead.

Vatrano, who has 11 goals and 23 points, scored into an empty-net goal with 1:32 remaining.

Lightning: Guentzel — who signed a seven-year contract during the offseason — scored his 21st goal, the most by any players on a new team this season.

Ducks: Forward Ryan Strome, who skated in his 200th career game as a Duck, had two assists, extending his point streak to five games (two goals, five assists).

Terry snapped a shot from the edge of the right faceoff circle, past Johansson's glove and just inside the post before ringing out to put the Ducks up 1-0 at the 5:24 mark of the first period.

Anaheim improved to 8-1-2 when leading after two periods. Tampa Bay is 2-9 when trailing after 40 minutes.

The teams have home games on Tuesday. The Lightning face Carolina and the Ducks take on Calgary.
