EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Alex Steen had a goal and three assists Monday to spur the St. Louis Blues to a 7-2 thumping of the Edmonton Oilers.
The Blues got two goals from Andy McDonald while Patrik Berglund and Brad Boyes each had a goal and an assist. Goalie Chris Mason made 23 saves as the Blues snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Oilers.
St. Louis broke a 2-2 tie in the second period by erupting for three goals over a 3:39 span. Boyes started the flurry with a fluky goal that deflected off the stick of Edmonton's Ladislav Smid at 13:29, and Berglund scored on a power play three minutes later.
Jay McClement's snap shot beat Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk to complete the outburst.
Edmonton was led by goals from Dustin Penner and Sam Gagner, while Dubnyk gave up all seven St. Louis goals.
