In 2019-20, David Perron led the League and set a Blues single-season franchise record by scoring four overtime game-winning goals.
On Thursday night, he was at it again, helping his team to a comeback 3-2 win against the San Jose Sharks.
Perron's goal with one minute left in overtime was his sixth overtime game-winner as a member of the Blues, which ranks third all-time in franchise history. Only Pavol Demitra (7) and Vladimir Tarasenko (10) have scored more.
"He's a gamer," goalie Jordan Binnington said of Perron's overtime heroics. "We've known that about him over the years. Obviously he's got a pretty deadly shot. That's a big extra point."
