The Blues had a demonstrative team-wide response to Tuesday's loss to Columbus, blasting the New York Islanders 5-1 tonight at Scottrade Center.

T.J. Oshie, David Perron, Andy McDonald, Jason Arnott and Kevin Shattenkirk each scored for the Blues, who had their highest offensive output since a 5-3 over Dallas on Dec. 26.

Including tonight, the Blues have netted five-plus goals just four times this season. They did their damage on 25 shots against Islanders goalie Al Montoya, who subbed for an ill Evgeni Nabokov.

Alex Pietrangelo and Oshie each had three assists, matching their career highs. Pietrangelo now has 21 points (5 goals, 16 assists) in his last 19 games.

The Blues improved to 12-0-2 against the Eastern Conference with four more games against the East. The club also lifted its record to 17-0-3 in its last 20 home games, while jumping to 27-0 when scoring three goals or more.

With the victory, the Blues kept a long string intact. They have not lost back-to-back games in regulation since Oct. 28 and 30 againsts Calgary and Edmonton, respectively.

Brian Elliott made 26 saves for the victory, improving his record to 19-5-2 this season.

The Blues will host the Minnesota Wild Saturday at Scottrade Center.
