Blues Fall to Blackhawks 5-1

The Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Blues 5-1 Sunday, just hours after the announcement that Keith Tkachuck had been traded from the team.

Curtis Sanford started the game for the Blues in replacement of the injured Manny Legace. Sanford, who has been stellar as a young goalie, was having us missing Legace with a less than stellar performance. He stopped just 4 of 11 shots before being replaced by Jason Bacashihua.

Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 22 shots, as the Blackhawks ended their 4 game losing streak, as well as ending the Blues 4 game winning streak. The Blues have yet to win 5 games in a row this season.
