ST. LOUIS (AP) — Andrew Murray, Rick Nash and Fedor Tyutin each scored in the third period, and the Columbus Blue Jackets scored five unanswered goals to beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Saturday night.

Columbus, which came back from a 2-0, first-period deficit, has earned at least a point in five straight games.

St. Louis has lost three of four.

Murray broke a 2-2 tie by deflecting in a shot from the blue line by Jan Hedja at 3:40 of the third period. It was his third goal of the season and first since Dec. 27. Nash added a power-play score at 16:32 to give him a team-leading 22 goals this season. Tyutin scored an empty netter at 18:30.

Eric Brewer and Patrik Berglund scored in a span of 1:23 in the first period to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead.
