Vladimir Tarasenko capped off his first career hat trick with a power-play goal in overtime to lead the St. Louis Blues in a 4-3 win over the Dallas Stars. Jori Lehtera posted a goal and two assists, while Brian Elliott turned away 25 shots for the Blues, who have won their past two. The Blues will host the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
Mike Moustakas smoked a double inside the right-field line, opening the floodgates. And just like that, two innings into a game they had to win, the Kansas City Royals renewed their hopes of a first World Series title in 29 years. Seven hits keyed a relentless seven-run rally in the second inning on Tuesday night and the Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 10-0 to force a Game 7. The winner-take-all game will be held tonight at Kauffman Stadium and will see the Royals send Jeremy Guthrie to the mound opposite the Giants’ Tim Hudson.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dealt third-year safety Mark Barron to the St. Louis Rams prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. Barron, the seventh overall pick of the 2012 draft, has recorded 49 tackles in seven games this year after totaling 88 each of his first two seasons.
