CALGARY — Oskar Sundqvist had a goal and an assist and Joel Hofer made 26 saves for his first career shutout as the St. Louis Blues blanked the slumping Calgary Flames 3-0 on Thursday night.
First-period goals by Kasperi Kapanen and Nick Leddy were all the offence St. Louis would need as they evened their record at 1-1-0 on their four-game road trip. Sundqvist added an empty-net goal in the final minute.
The memorable night for Hofer comes in his second start of the season and was a nice bounce-back performance after he gave up six goals at home in a loss to the Arizona Coyotes a week ago. That would be one of the few dangerous threats for the listless Flames, who have gone 1-5-1 since winning their season opener and only scored 12 goals over that span.
St. Louis doubled its lead two minutes later when Leddy's slapshot from the point deflected in off the leg of Flames defenceman Nikita Zadorov.
