ST. LOUIS - The short-handed St. Louis Blues took on the visiting Anaheim Ducks with a simple game plan and a lack of offensive firepower.Jake Allen took care of the rest.The Blues young goalie recorded his second NHL shutout, stopping 24 shots, and Alexander Steen and Ryan Reaves provided the offence as the Blues beat the Ducks 2-0 on Thursday night for their third consecutive victory.I felt really good this week in practice, Allen said. I didnt know when I was going to get another start, and I just wanted to be ready every time I can.Els (Brian Elliott) played great on Tuesday in Dallas, and it was my job to give the guys a chance.The Blues (5-3-1) won their third consecutive game despite playing without four of their top nine forwards on Thursday. David Backes and T.J. Oshie sat out because of concussions, Paul Stastny was sidelined by a shoulder injury, and Joakim Lindstrom missed the game due to an illness.Every team goes through this, and were no different, Steen said. Were going through it right now and were doing our best to continue to move forward and play the style of game that we want to play.Were doing our best to keep the train moving forward and then start getting guys back when they feel healthy.The Ducks (8-3), coming off a 1-0 win at Chicago on Tuesday, played the second game of a four-game, six-day trip. Anaheim had won four straight against the Blues, including a 3-0 home victory on Oct. 19.After an eight-game winning streak, they have lost two of three.They were a hungry team, Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. We talked about it before the game. Teams that are down some of their best players they dig deeper, and they played as hard as they could.If you are not ready to meet their work ethic then you are not going to have success. They just worked harder.Steen tipped in a long shot from Carl Gunnarsson for his second goal of the season to give the Blues a 1-0 lead 4:29 in. Kevin Shattenkirk earned his team-high eighth assist of the season.Reaves made it 2-0 with his second at 2:03 of the third.It was the second goal in three games for Reaves, a fourth-line enforcer, and his 13th in 203 career games.He joked that he was taking tips from teammate Vladimir Tarasenko, who recorded a hat trick in Tuesdays overtime win at Dallas.Were rolling right now and were trying to build, and its a big win, Reaves said.Allen (2-1) posted his first shutout since March 14, 2013 — a 3-0 win against the Coyotes.The 24-year-old Allen stopped 13 Ducks shots in the first period, four in the second and seven in the third.Jake was solid, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. The feeling for me on the bench was that they werent going to score, which is a real good feeling when youre standing on the bench like that.He made some good saves, as did (Anaheims John) Gibson. He was great. He kept it 1-0 for a long time there, especially in the second and early third.Allen made a clutch save on Corey Perrys point-blank, power-play rebound attempt with 10:55 left. He also got some help from Maxim Lapierre late when the forward cleared a puck off the goal line with 1:54 remaining.I thanked him after the game, Allen said of Lapierre. There was a screen. I think (Ryan) Kesler shot it, and I just saw it at the last second and got my glove on it and I didnt really want to move in case I knocked it in my own net.Great second effort by him. Those guys are sacrificing, paying the extra price.NOTES: The Blues had a moment of silence before the game for St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras and his girlfriend, Ydelia Arvelos, who were killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic on Sunday. .

Kevin Durant calmly drained a three-pointer with 1.7 seconds left to lift the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 119-118 victory over the Toronto Raptors in double overtime on Friday. The buzzer-beating bomb from 31 feet out capped a 51-point performance by Durant, the leagues top scorer. Still, DeRozan said there was plenty to take from the game that almost became the Raptors second win this season against one of the best in the West. "Thats a helluva Western Conference team right there, and we fought with them to the end, we were blow for blow," DeRozan said. "It came down to the last shot, those are the types of games you live for. "We cant win every game and we wish we would have got that one, but it still was a helluva game." DeRozan scored 33 points to top the Raptors (38-30) in just their sixth loss at home in 22 outings. Kyle Lowry added 25 points, including a three-pointer that forced a second overtime period, while Amir Johnson had 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Greivis Vasquez finished with 21 points. Reggie Jackson added 25 points for the Thunder (51-18), while Russell Westbrook had 15 points before leaving the game in the third quarter with yet another knee injury. Durant extended his scoring streak — of at least 25 points a game — to 34 consecutive games. Its the leagues longest scoring streak since Michael Jordans 40-game run in 1986-87. "Straight up, that was the craziest game Ive ever been a part of," Durant said. With the capacity crowd of 19,800 fans on their feet, and a playoff vibe palpable at the Air Canada Centre in the game that saw 23 lead changes, the Raptors dominated the second overtime period to nearly secure the hard-fought win. DeRozan pumped a victorious fist when he scored on a pullup jumper with 2:37 left to put Toronto up by five. Fans chanted "M-V-P!" when Lowry stepped up to the line to sink two free throws that gave Toronto an eight-point lead. But the Thunder rallied to pull within two on a three by Derek Fisher with 15.7 seconds left, then John Salmons missed on two free throws that surely would have sealed the victory for Toronto. Then, with Johnson on Durant, the Thunder superstar pulled up and calmly launched his second three of the games final minute to send Torontos fans home unhappy. "Yeah, yeah. . . I thought we had it," DeRozan said. "Just give us one of those threes and the game is ours." Added coach Dwane Casey: "Great players make great plays and (Durant) made a great shot." DeRozan said that during a third-quarter timeout, Johnson had asked Casey if he could guard Durant. "It means a lot, man," DeRozan said of his teammates request. "Ive got the utmost respect for him. . .That takes a lot of guts to go out there and play great defence. Got to give it to K.D., he made a lot of tough shots." Johnson said he thought he might be able to throw Durant off with his height. Both Johnson and Durant are six foot nine. "It was tough, hes my height out there shooting from halfcourt, theres not too much you can do but double team that," Johnson said. "It just came down to the stretch where he hit one off the glass (with 47 seconnds left) and then that last shot was a tough shot.dddddddddddd What can I say about that? It was just a tough shot." The game had gone into a second overtime tied 107-107 thanks to a three-pointer by Lowry with seven seconds left. The game might have been bad news for Westbrook, who sprained his surgically-repaired right knee and with 7:37 left in the third quarter. Lowry had inadvertently bumped into the same knee the Thunder player had undergone his third surgery on in late December. Lowry apologized to Westbrook, as he was being helped to the locker-room by teammate Hasheem Thabeet. Westbrook had sat out the Thunders 102-95 win at Cleveland the previous night to rest his troublesome knee. Westbrook insisted afterward that he didnt expect to miss any time. "Well just see how it goes," he said. "It was fun," he added on the game. "I was in the back wishing I could go out there and help them out but as you see, Kevin took care of that." The Raptors trailed Oklahoma City 72-71 going into the fourth quarter in a scrappy see-saw affair that saw 22 lead changes. The Thunder stretched their lead to seven points when Jackson chucked up an alley-oop to Durant for a dunk with 9:14 left to play. Toronto chipped away at it, eventually taking a 90-89 lead with 3:08 left after a thrilling 30-second segment that saw five points and a steal from DeRozan, and a basket by Johnson. The Raptors were trailing by three with just under a minute to go when Johnson hit one of two free throws then a layup with 17 seconds to go to send the game into the first extra period 96-96. The Raptors had beaten the Thunder 104-98 on Dec. 22 at Oklahoma, ending the Thunders 13-game unbeaten streak at home. That victory was one of the Raptors first significant wins after they overhauled their roster in a seven-player deal, and their solid play has continued as theyre poised to make the post-season for the first time in six years. Durant and the Thunder got some revenge Friday. Asked about Durants game-winning shot, Westbrook said: "Just letting it all hang out. Hes been doing that all season and tonight it was a win or go home. Hes playing at an MVP level as hes been doing all season." Durant and Westbrook scored eight points apiece in a first quarter that saw the lead change hands several times and neither team lead by more than five. Durant scored on a stepback jumper with seven second to go to send the Thunder into the second half with a 22-20 lead. The Raptors held their visitors to 24 per cent shooting in the second quarter, and a stepback jumper by Vasquez put the Raptors up by eight about four minutes into the frame. Westbrook drained a three with 1.9 seconds left to cut Torontos lead to 46-42 at halftime. Durant had 14 points in a third quarter that saw the lead change hands nine times, and the Thunder led by one heading into the fourth.
