Philadelphia -- A fourth-round shootout goal by the Flyers' Mika Pyorala gave Philadelphia a 2-1 overtime win Saturday over the St. Louis Blues.

Pyorala beat Blues goalie Chris Mason, who lost in the shootout after making a huge save on the Flyers' Scott Hartnell in the overtime period to keep the game alive.

David Backes had the final shootout opportunity for St. Louis, but goalie Ray Emery made the stop and sealed the win for Philadelphia.

Hartnell scored in regulation time as the Flyers won their fourth straight game. Emery stood tall in the net for Philadelphia, making 30 saves in the win.

The Blues were paced by T.J. Oshie's goal as Mason played a stellar game despite the shootout loss, stopping 35 shots.

St. Louis -- Chris Mason turned in his best outing of the season Friday, stopping 20 shots and carrying St. Louis to a 3-1 victory over Minnesota.

Mason had lost his previous four starts and had been allowing an average of 3.2 goals a game before his appearance Friday.

Minnesota has played seven games on the road in the young season and has lost them all.

Jay McClement gave the Blues the lead just 56 seconds into the game with a wrist shot that got past Niklas Backstrom, and David Perron made it 2-0 with a shorthanded goal 5:21 into the second.

Phoenix, Oct. 16: Ed Jovanovski scored with 1:23 remaining in overtime Thursday, giving Phoenix a 3-2 victory over St. Louis.

The Coyotes had not been in front all night until Jovanovski delivered an unassisted goal, his second of the season.

Phoenix, which went through a tumultuous summer in which the future home of the franchise was in doubt, won for the fourth time in six games this season. Only Chicago and Colorado have more wins in the Western Conference.

St. Louis scored twice in the second period to take a 2-1 lead, but Scottie Upshall lifted Phoenix into a tie with a wrist shot 8:27 into the third.

It remained a 2-2 tie until Phoenix handed the Blues their first overtime loss of the season.

St. Louis -- Chris Mason gave up a first-period, power-play goal and nothing more Thursday night in leading the St. Louis Blues to a 3-1 victory over San Jose.

Mason stopped 24 shots and saw his team rally from an early deficit to pick up its sixth win in eight games. The Sharks have lost five out of six and dropped two points behind Detroit in the race for the best record in the Western Conference.

Andy McDonald tied the game with 3:12 to play in the opening period and Brad Boyes produced the game-winner with 7:40 left in the second. It remained a 2-1 contest until Barret Jackman scored a shorthanded goal with 26 seconds left in the third.

Patrick Marleau scored and Brian Boucher let in two goals on 25 shots for the Sharks.

The teams split their four meetings this year with the home team winning every contest.

NHL: St. Louis 1, Chicago 0

St. Louis -- Chris Mason made 23 saves Friday night to earn his fourth shutout of the season and give the St. Louis Blues a 1-0 victory over Chicago.

One night after giving up two third-period goals that cost his team a 4-3 setback against Nashville, Mason was perfect while continuing to bounce back from a poor start to the season.

Mason has won six of his last 11 starts after going 0-8 in December.

A series of shoving matches at the end of the second period led to five players going to the penalty box. The odd penalty was assessed to Chicago's Adam Burish for slashing.

St. Louis then took advantage of its power-play chance to start the third period by getting the game's only goal. Brad Boyes scored 57 seconds into the third to make a winner out of Cristobal Huet, who stopped 22 shots.
