The St. Louis Blues just won't slow down. The Central Division club defeated the Detroit Red Wings in overtime by a 2-1 final score on April 1, extending their winning streak to an incredible 10 games.
Blues defenseman Cam Fowler was the team's hero, as he scored the overtime winner. His goal was a great one, too, as he beat Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot top shelf with a beautiful backhander. He also recorded the primary assist on Jordan Kyrou's late third-period goal that forced overtime in the first place.
This is just the latest clutch game Fowler has had since being acquired by the Blues in December from the Anaheim Ducks. The 33-year-old has been a perfect fit for the Blues, and the truth is in his stats.
In 45 games since joining the Blues, Fowler has nine goals, 21 assists, 30 points, and a plus-16 rating. He has not been slowing down in the slightest as the year progresses, either, posting 12 points in his last 13 contests. This includes two goals and five points in his previous four games.
