Penguins fall 7-5 to Blues in regular season finale

/ AP

Jimmy Snuggerud scored twice and assisted on both of Dylan Holloway's goals in the third period as the St. Louis Blues rallied from a three-goal deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-5 on Tuesday night.

Pittsburgh raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first period despite resting most of its regular players, including Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, with the playoffs looming this weekend. The Blues surged ahead with five consecutive goals in a span of just over 20 minutes, with Holloway and Pavel Buchnevich scoring 44 seconds apart in the third period.

Holloway gave St. Louis its first lead 4:11 into the third on a wrister from the slot that to the stick side against Arturs Silovs, who relieved Stuart Skinner for the third period and made seven saves. Buchnevich added a breakaway goal for his 19th of the season.

Rookie Avery Hayes scored twice for his second career multigoal game, and the Penguins also got goals from Rutger McGroarty, Anthony Mantha and Elmer Soderblom. Hayes' second goal pulled Pittsburgh within one goal with 7:40 to play.

Holloway added an empty-netter to secure the Blues' win in their home finale. Jordan Binnington had 18 saves.

Stuart Skinner stopped 17 of 21 shots before getting pulled after St. Louis scored three times in the second period.

The Penguins scored on three of their first six shots despite resting half of their regular lineup. In addition to Crosby and Malkin, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Rickard Rakell, Bryan Rust, Samuel Girard, Blake Lizotte, Connor Dewar and Parker Wotherspoon were scratched with Pittsburgh already locked into its playoff position.

St. Louis concludes its season Thursday night at playoff-bound Utah.
