Acciari gave St. Louis the lead after 11 seconds, Anaheim lost six of their last seven games

Noel Acciari scored the sixth-fastest goal in St Louis’s history and Justin Faulk had a power-play goal late in the third period as the Blues extended their winning streak to seven games with a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.

The Blues’ winning streak is the longest in NHL history for a team immediately following a losing streak of eight games or more in regulation play.

“We want to play well and we’re building and that’s what we wanted to be since the beginning of the year,” Faulk said.

“We just know that we have to commit to the details of the game every night and there’s never an easy night.”

Jordan Binnington made 27 saves for St. Louis, who also beat the Ducks on Saturday night at Enterprise Center.

“It’s one game at a time, one day at a time,” Binnington said.

“That’s a tighter game than I think we wanted. We’ve got to recognize that and just stay on ourselves … and everyone keep that focus.”

Cam Fowler scored and John Gibson made 24 saves for the Ducks, who have lost six of their last seven games.

Acciari gave the Blues the lead just 11 seconds into the game. It was the sixth-fastest goal to start a game in Blues history as Alexander Steen and Greg Paslawski share the record at eight seconds.
