Saint Paul, Minnesota - The St. Louis Blues looked to be down and out but came around with late-game heroics to inch closer and closer to a playoff spot on Wednesday night.

In a decisive game, the visitors managed to mount a three-goal, third-period comeback to win 4-3 against the Wild, who just recently earned a postseason spot of their own.

With less than a minute to go in regulation, Robert Thomas (21) scored to put the Blues ahead. After controlling the first two periods, the Wild left the door open for St. Louis in the third and the three unanswered goals snapped Minnesota's seven-game winning streak.

Although the Wild are officially a playoff team, they weren't looking much like one by the game's final horn. They allowed the Blues to take control and left a trail of opportunities for St. Louis to take advantage of. Maybe the Blues just to have Minnesota's number, since they were the last team to beat them before this winning streak started.
