ST. LOUIS -- Carter Hutton did all the important work in the third period of the Blues win Saturday night.Hutton made 33 saves, including 15 in the final period when his teammates did not record a shot on goal, to help St. Louis beat the New York Rangers 3-2.Coach Ken Hitchcock liked what he saw from his new backup goalie, brought into spell Jake Allen after St. Louis traded away Brian Elliott over the summer. Allen and Elliott formed an outstanding tandem for the Blues last season.The goalie was outstanding there in the third period, Hitchcock said. He won us the game, which was great. Whether it was three games in four nights or the injuries there that depleted us, we needed our goalie there and he came through for us.In the third period we were running on fumes and we needed our goalie.Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist for St. Louis. Tarasenko has three goals in three games for the Blues after netting 40 last season.St. Louis has begun the season with three straight wins for the fourth time. St. Louis also started 3-0-0 in 1969-70, 1993-94 and 2013-14.Hutton got his first win and made numerous tough saves in his first game with St. Louis. He signed to a two-year, $2.25 million free agent contract on July 1.Facing a barrage in the third period did not bother Hutton.You just battle, Hutton said. Just compete on everything. They got their chances and we were able to hold them off. Youre just in the moment. You know about the blood, sweat and tears that goes into this so youre in the mindset to just keep competing.The Rangers outshot St. Louis 35-18, with New Yorks Henrik Lundqvist making 15 saves.We created quite a few opportunities in the third and we should have been able to tie it up but their goaltender made the difference, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.The Blues scored quickly, taking a 1-0 lead just 1:13 into the game. Colton Parayko blocked a shot by J.T. Miller, then controlled the puck and fed Tarasenko at the blue line. His wrist shot from the low side of the left faceoff circle easily beat Lundqvist.Tarasenko deflected attention from himself to Hutton.Our goalie played great. Im happy with this win and for us to keep going, Tarasenko said. We see him in practice every day. Were lucky to have two good goalies.Lundqvist called Tarasenko one of the leagues best.Obviously the way the game started, it was tough to see that guy (Tarasenko) come down on a breakaway, Lundqvist said. I think hes one of the best in the league on the breakaway the way he shoots the puck. Hes so accurate and so hard. You would like to have a couple shots before you face that kind of breakaway.The Rangers tied it at 5:25 when Chris Kreider found a loose puck just outside the crease and knocked it past Hutton. It was Kreiders second goal this season. He is the only Ranger who recorded at least 20 goals in each of the last two seasons.Paul Stastny poked in a rebound of a shot by Robby Fabbri a 17:32, giving the Blues a 2-1 lead. It was the 100th point of Stastnys career.The Rangers went the last 11:40 of the first period without a shot on goal.Each team scored in the second period.A power-play goal gave St. Louis a 3-1 lead. Alex Pietrangelo got a pass from Stastny in the corner and blasted in a slap shot from the faceoff circle at 2:28 of the second period. Tarasenko also assisted on the goal.New York was able to kill off four other St. Louis power-play opportunities. The Rangers were 0 for 2 on the power play.Today comes down to special teams. We had a couple late power-play chances and they get one on theirs and thats the difference in a one-goal game, New York captain Ryan McDonagh said.Just 30 seconds later, the Rangers cut the lead to 3-2. With Scottie Upshall all over him, Mika Zibanejad scored on a backhander when Hutton failed to seal off space by the post.That was definitely not a good goal, right? Hutton said. Thats hockey. Whats done is done and I move on.The Blues had three players leave the game with upper body injuries. Center Kyle Brodziak left in the first period and center Jori Lehtera and defenseman Carl Gunnarsson both exited in the second period.Hitchcock gave no further update on the injuries, saying more information would come Monday. The players have a day off Sunday.New York defenseman Dan Girardi also left in the second period and did not return.Hes got a hip flexor and will know the severity tomorrow but at this time I would say hes a little bit more than day to day, Vigneault said.Game notesThe Rangers were without Kevin Klein (back), who remains day to day. ...

Five of those have come in the league and the other three in the Champions League.City is averaging more than three goals a game under Guardiola, who has turned the team into an irresistible attacking unit.And surely title favorites.It was a stroll against Bournemouth at Etihad Stadium, with Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho scoring in the first half before Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan added goals in the second. There were audible gasps from City fans relishing the silky passing and buildup play of whats shaping to be the most entertaining team in the clubs history.Theres also intelligence behind the excellence. Iheanacho said City noticed in its research for the game that Bournemouths players jump in the wall at free kicks on the edge of the area. So when De Bruyne got his first chance, he rolled his effort underneath the line of jumping visiting players and into the net.That got City rolling in the 15th minute -- and De Bruyne played a part in the other three goals, too. The Belgium midfielder split Bournemouths defense with through-balls in the buildup to the goals of Iheanacho and Sterling, before saving his best pass until last.The timing and weight of his angled pass to the onrushing Gundogan was perfect, and the Germany midfielder marked his Premier League debut by slotting his finish into the corner.Guardiola said De Bruyne was one of the best players he has managed, adding: (Lionel) Messi is on a table on his own. Kevin is there with the rest.City was one of three teams to score four goals as Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion also enjoyed big wins on a high-scoring day of 22 goals in five games in the league.Heres a look at the other games:---HULL 1, ARSENAL 4Its been a good week for Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.The Chile international scored a goal in each half to inspire Arsenals third straight league win, four days after grabbing a laate equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.ddddddddddddHaving a penalty saved blotted Sanchezs performance against Hull -- and manager Arsene Wenger was left wondering why Sanchez took the kick ahead of the usual penalty-taker Santi Cazorla. Arsenal has had four penalties this season, scoring two and missing two.Theo Walcott and Granit Xhaka scored Arsenals other goals, with Robert Snodgrass replying for Hull with a penalty that made it 2-1 in the 79th. Hull played more than half the game with 10 men after Jake Livermore was sent off for two bookings, the second for a handball in the area that earned Arsenal a penalty.LEICESTER 3, BURNLEY 0It was some Premier League debut for Islam Slimani.The Algeria striker scored twice as Leicester eased past Burnley with a second straight 3-0 win, having beaten Club Brugge by that score in the Champions League on Wednesday.Slimani is Leicesters record signing after joining from Sporting Lisbon in August for $33.5 million, and looks to have established himself as the first-choice partner for Jamie Vardy.Ben Mees own goal rounded off a second league win of the season for the champions.EVERTON 3, MIDDLESBROUGH 1Everton is the other unbeaten team along with City, and earned a fourth straight win after coming from behind at Goodison Park, lifting the team in second place.Gareth Barry scored on his 600th top-flight appearance to spark Evertons comeback after goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburgs own goal put Middlesbrough ahead. Seamus Coleman and Romelu Lukaku also scored for Everton.WEST BROMWICH ALBION 4, WEST HAM 2West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said he felt embarrassed during this third straight loss -- and second straight 4-2 defeat -- for his team.West Brom was 3-0 ahead at halftime after goals by Nacer Chadli, Salomon Rondon and James McClean.
