Dallas Drake scored what turned out to be the game-winner for the Blues, which would be the final goal of the game at 9:35 of the second period.
John Madden opened the scoring for the Devils at 4:23 of the opening period, but Keith Tkachuk tied the game with his 13th goal of the season six minutes later.
New Jersey went ahead again on Brian Gionta's marker just 19 seconds into the second period, but Dan Hinote got that goal back at 2:32 to again tie the score, setting up Drake's winner.


Martin Brodeur made 20 saves in goal for the Devils, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped. Brian Rafalski assisted on both Devils goals.
Barrett Jackman assisted on the final two St Louis goals.
