The St. Louis Blues struggles in 2011 continued on Monday night on the road at Colorado.
Unable to contain Avalanche forward Brandon Yip, the Blues lost to the Avalanches 4-3 in Denver and have now fallen 5 points behind 8th place Colorado in the Western Conference standings.
The Blues let Brandon Yip run rampant. Yip scored two goals in the game and also drew a double major for high sticking against Brad Boyes. The Avalanche scored the go-ahead goal on the extended power play in the third period to help seal the victory.
Boyes did manage to play a strong offensive game for the Blues assisting on all 3 St. Louis goals. Boyes helped Erik Brewer, Jay McClement, and David Backes find the back of the net.
The game also saw Cam Jannsen's return to the lineup for St. Louis. Janssen made his presence felt immediately with a first period battle with Colorado's David Koci that lasted over two minutes.
The Blues will look to start making up ground on the Avalanche next on Wednesday when they travel to Calgary to take on Jerome Iginla and the Flames.
The Flames sit one point ahead of the Blues in the standings as of Monday night.
