Franzen scores assist in first game back from ACL tear
ST. LOUIS, MO (AP) -- Paul Kariya scored his first goal at home in more than 15 months and the St. Louis Blues recovered after blowing a two-goal cushion, beating the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in a shootout on Tuesday night.
T.J. Oshie and Brad Boyes scored in the shootout for St. Louis.
Goalie Chris Mason clinched it with a left pad save on Henrik Zetterberg in the third round.
Kariya added an assist for only his sixth multipoint game of the season and David Perron and Andy McDonald also scored in regulation for the Blues.
The Red Wings got goals from Pavel Datsyuk and Valtteri Filppula in the final 5:34 to force overtime.
Johan Franzen had an assist in his first game back from a 55-game absence due to a left knee injury sustained in early October.
