Belanger's goal at 19:49 of the second period was a go-ahead tally, breaking a 1-1 tie.

Minnesota also got goals from Pavol Demitra in the second and Brent Burns in the third.

Goalie Josh Harding stopped 33-of-34 St. Louis shots, as the Wild remained the only NHL team that has not lost in regulation in the new season.

They have one loss in their first seven games.

St. Louis got its only goal from Steve Wagner at 19:08 of the second. Goaltender Manny Legace was beaten three times on 34 Minnesota shots, as the Blues had their season-high four-game winning streak snapped.

The streak eclipsed their longest winning stretch of the 2006 season.
