The Tampa Bay Lightning suffered a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Tuesday.

The Blues scored three unanswered goals to offset a 1-0 Tampa Bay lead on a Nick Perbix goal 2:39 into the second period, and a Victor Hedman goal in the third was as close as Tampa Bay would get to a comeback.

Tampa Bay is now 7-6-0 this season. Next on the Lightning schedule is a matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers at AMALIE Arena this Thursday.

Defenseman Nick Perbix dragged the puck through a St. Louis defender and slid the puck under the pad of Blues goalie Jordan Binnington for his first goal of the year, opening the scoring on Tuesday.

The Blues tied the game five minutes after Perbix's goal when St. Louis forward Oscar Sundqvist scored on a rebound shot.

Forward Alexey Toropchenko handed St. Louis its first lead of the game with less than two minutes left in the second period. Toropchenko was left alone in front of the Tampa Bay net and sent a shot into the upper right corner.

Jordan Kyrou extended the St. Louis lead by tapping home a backdoor pass from Brayden Schenn nearly nine minutes into the third period.

Tampa Bay captain Victor Hedman kept the visitors in the game less than three minutes after the Kyrou goal, slapping a one-timer through a screened Binnington from atop the left face-off circle.
