Rookie Dave Roberts ended a third-period tie with his fourth goal of the week--and of his NHL career--as the St. Louis Blues defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-1, Friday night at St. Louis.
Roberts has played much of the season with Peoria, Ill., of the International Hockey League, but he has four of the Blues' last eight goals--including both goals in a 2-2 tie with Chicago on Wednesday.
Winnipeg 2, Chicago 1--Teppo Numminen and Stephane Quintal scored power-play goals for the Jets at Chicago to extend the Blackhawks' winless streak to 12 games.
Washington 6, Hartford 3--Peter Bondra scored three goals as the Capitals took sole possession of sixth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race at Landover, Md.
