Jimmy Snuggerud scored twice and Dylan Holloway assisted on three goals as the St. Louis Blues recovered from a two-goal deficit to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5–3 on Saturday.

Jonatan Berggren delivered the winner at 9:33 of the third period, lifting in a rebound during a delayed penalty. The victory ended St. Louis’ three-game losing streak and moved the Blues to 2–2–1, the NHL.com recap reported.

Columbus led 2–0 after first-period goals from Valeri Nichushkin and Kent Johnson. Jake Neighbours started the Blues’ comeback at 6:10 of the second, before Snuggerud scored at 9:02 and 12:32 to put St. Louis ahead.

Cole Sillinger pulled the Blue Jackets level early in the third. Berggren restored the Blues’ lead, and Pavel Buchnevich sealed the result with an empty-net goal at 19:17.

Jordan Binnington made 20 saves for St. Louis. Columbus fell to 2–2–0 after beating Pittsburgh in a shootout the previous night.

The Blues turned a difficult first period into a win through three second-period goals, then found another answer after Columbus erased their lead.
