Garland scores twice, Canucks defeat Blues | NHL.com

Dylan Holloway and Colton Parayko scored for the Blues (23-24-4), who went 0-3-0 on a three-game homestand. Jordan Binnington was pulled after allowing three goals on 18 shots. Joel Hofer made 10 saves in relief.

Garland made it 1-0 at 2:52 of the first period. After the Blues lost possession in the offensive zone, Hughes chipped the loose puck past Mathieu Joseph in the neutral zone, skated in on a 2-on-1, and sent a backdoor feed to Garland for a tap-in at the right post.

St. Louis appeared to tie it on a goal from Tyler Tucker at 15:00, but the goal was waved off after the officials determined that Holloway impacted Lankinen's ability to play his position. Blues coach Jim Montgomery challenged the ruling, but the call was confirmed after a video review, resulting in a delay of game penalty.

Garland then made it 2-0 on the ensuing power play at 15:53. He jammed in a rebound that trickled behind Binnington, who had made the initial save on Brock Boeser's shot from the high slot.

J.T. Miller extended the lead to 3-0 with another power-play goal at 8:26 of the second period. Catching the Blues in a bad line change, Miller took a stretch pass from Hughes and scored blocker side on a breakaway.

Holloway responded with his own power-play goal, a one-timer from the right circle, to make it 3-1 at 10:08.

Suter scored a short-handed goal to make it 4-1 at 13:36. He beat Hofer five-hole on a partial breakaway that was sprung after Myers poked the puck off the stick of Holloway at the defensive blue line.

Parayko cut it to 4-2 at 4:22 of the third period when his cross-crease pass deflected in off the skate of Canucks forward Elias Pettersson. It was Parayko's 11th goal this season, an NHL career high.

Myers, who was returning from a three-game suspension, scored an empty-net goal at 17:57 for the 5-2 final.
