ST. LOUIS (AP) - Matt D'Agostini scored at 3:58 of overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 comeback victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.

Jason Arnott and David Backes scored in regulation to help the Blues overcome a 2-0 deficit, and Brian Elliott made 27 saves.

In overtime after the Blues killed a penalty, Vladimir Sobotka won a faceoff, got the puck back from Pietrangelo and fed D'Agostini in the slot for a redirection past goalie Cam Ward.
