Buchnevich scores late in third period to help Blues end 10-game road skid with 3-1 win over Wild

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Pavel Buchnevich scored late in the third period and the St. Louis Blues snapped a 10-game road losing streak by beating the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Sunday.

Logan Mailloux and Alexey Toropchenko also scored for St. Louis, and Joel Hofer stopped 22 shots.

Kirill Kaprizov scored to tie Marian Gaborik for the most goals in Wild franchise history with 218. Filip Gustavsson made 21 saves, but Minnesota lost its second straight after six straight wins. The Wild lost 5-2 Friday in Utah.

It was the first time in 42 games this season that Minnesota lost when allowing three or fewer goals in regulation.

With the game tied at 1, Buchnevich scored with 3:39 remaining. He took a backhand pass from Jimmy Snuggerud and beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from near the right dot, extending his scoring streak to five games.

Buchnevich, who scored the Blues’ lone goal in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to New Jersey, is tied with Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours for the team lead with 14 goals.

Toropchenko added an empty-net goal.

In Minnesota’s first home game after the Olympic break, Kaprizov broke a scoreless tie late in the second period, tipping in a pass from Matt Boldy for a power-play goal. His sixth goal in seven games was his 34th goal of the season and 218th in a Wild sweater. He has played in 122 fewer games than Gaborik.

Mailloux tied it when he beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from the top of the right less than two minutes later for his first goal in 25 games.

Robert Thomas had an assist on the goal in his first action since Jan. 10. The top-line center and team’s second-leading scorer missed 13 games with a lower-body injury and a minor leg procedure. Robby Fabbri was placed on waivers.

Minnesota left wing Marcus Foligno missed the game with a lower-body injury. Coach John Hynes said before the game if Foligno is day to day or could be sidelined long term.

Blues: At Seattle on Wednesday.

Wild: Host Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Lindsey Heaps had a goal and an assist, and Jaedyn Shaw also scored to propel the United States to a sixth straight shutout victory, 2-0 over Argentina in the SheBelieves Cup on Sunday.

The U.S. has outscored opponents 27-1 over its past seven games. Coach Emma Hayes’ squad hasn’t lost since falling 2-1 to Portugal in Chester, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 23.

Heaps scored from the top of the box in the 19th minute. Emma Sears worked the ball out of the left corner and into the box, then passed to a wide-open Heaps, who converted with her left foot. It was her 39th international goal, the most on the current U.S. roster.

Shaw found the back of the net from the top left corner of the box. Her right-footed shot curved toward the left post and into the net for her 10th international goal.

After Shaw scored, Lilly Reale was treated for a right leg injury and replaced by Emily Fox.

During stoppage time, Argentina's Milagros Martín was assessed a yellow card for shoving Trinity Rodman in the back.

The U.S. dominated possession, holding the ball 67.7% of the time. The Americans had three shots on target, while Argentina had just one on target against U.S. goalkeeper Claudia Dickey.

The SheBelieves Cup — a four-team round-robin that also includes Canada and Colombia — moves to Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, when the Americans will take on Canada. The Canadians beat Colombia 4-1 earlier Sunday.
