ST. LOUIS -- Robby Fabbri insists nothing has changed since being a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. His play says otherwise.Jaden Schwartz and Kyle Brodziak scored early in the third period to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.Fabbri and Scottie Upshall also scored and Jake Allen made 23 saves for the Blues, who snapped a three-game skid and beat the Sabres for the ninth straight time.Maybe just more attention to little details, but my games stayed the same, said Fabbri, who has scored three goals in two games since returning to the lineup. Just trying to stick to that, stay positive and keep going here.Sam Reinhart scored and Robin Lehner stopped 27 shots for the Sabres, who lost their fifth consecutive game.The Blues are 4-0-2 in their last six at home and have allowed two goals or fewer in eight of their nine games at the Scottrade Center this season.Schwartz broke a 1-1 tie 44 seconds into the third period on a rebound past a prone Lehner, who had made a sprawling save to stop Dmitrij Jaskins breakaway moments before.It was a great play by Jask, Schwartz said. He had a lot of speed and made a good power move and just a fortunate bounce for me. I think anyone could have put that in.Brodziak tipped in Ryan Reaves pass to give the Blues a 3-1 lead at 2:16 of the third. It was Brodziaks first goal since April 4 against Arizona.While Fabbri is known for his skill, the second-year player changed the game with his fists by getting into a second-period fight with Josh Gorges a couple of minutes after Gorges checked Alexander Steen hard into the boards. It was just the second fight of Fabbris NHL career, the other coming Feb. 14 against Tampa Bay.I dont know what got into me, but I wanted to be that guy so I went out on that shift so I asked him, Fabbri said. And the funny part is I asked him again and hes like, `Are you serious? and Im like, `Well yeah, kind of, so thats what happened.Steen briefly returned after the hit, but was taken out of the game shortly after for precautionary reasons. He will be re-evaluated Wednesday.Reaves said Fabbris willingness to stick up for a teammate energized the Blues.It only motivates us when a guy like that who doesnt fight and hes a skill player goes and sticks up for our team, Reaves said. Youve got to give him that pat on the back and if that doesnt get you up, you might as well sit down. And he did a good job. If he would have landed that first one it would have been night-night.Reinharts power-play goal gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead at 7:55 of the first period. The goal came 18 seconds after Upshall took an ill-advised hooking penalty for St. Louis in Buffalos zone.Fabbri tied it three minutes later. All three of his goals during his streak have come on the power play.Lehner made 11 saves and Allen made eight saves in a scoreless second period. Allen robbed Reinhart with his left pad midway through the frame, while Lehner stopped a Jaskin shot from the slot late in the period.Were strapped for goals, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. Were strapped for opportunities to get the goal and its not for a lack of effort, guys are throwing it out there and giving everything they got.Game notesBlues F Nail Yakupov was a healthy scratch for the fourth time in six games. ... Sabres F Ryan OReilly (middle body) and D Dmitry Kulikov (undisclosed) missed the game with injuries. ...

Meanwhile, the Oilers dealt long-time sniper Ales hemsky to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday for a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a third-rounder in 2015.The Colorado Rockies have agreed with relief pitcher Mike Dunn on a three-year contract.The deal is worth more than $19 million, a source told ESPNs Buster Olney, confirming multiple reports.Dunn, a 31-year-old left-hander, was 6-1 with a 3.40 ERA in 42? innings for the Miami Marlins last season.?By signing with Colorado, Dunn, a native of Farmington, New Mexico, not only moves closer to home but possibly to landing a closers role. He has typically worked the middle innings over his career.You always want to potentially become a closer if youre a reliever, Dunn said Thursday at his introductory news conference. Ultimately, I want to win baseball games, however that pans out.Dunn, who had eight holds and four blown saves in 2016, shores up a Colorado bullpen that blew 28 saves last season.In his career, he has held left-handed batters to a .228 batting average. Last season, left-handed batters hit .278 against him.In eight seasons, including six with the Marlins, he has a 28-25 record and a 3.54 ERA.Dunn thanked the Marlins and said he was looking forward to joining the Rockies in a series of tweets Thursday.The Rocckies also recently agreed to a five-year, $70 million deal with All-Star outfielder Ian Desmond, who is making the switch to first base.dddddddddddd.Colorado might not be done shopping, either.Even after adding Dunn and Desmond, Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich hinted he might still be retooling the team for Bud Blacks first year as Rockies manager. Colorado went 75-87 last season, its best record since 2010, and is trying to close the gap on the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in the NL West.I believe in this club and this collection of players we have already on the team and the players that are coming in, Bridich said. But I think it would be remiss to say were going to sit here and be satisfied.Hence, the conversations with free agents such as long-ball hitters Mark Trumbo and Edwin Encarnacion.Our process will always be, as Ive said, eyes and ears open to whatever, whether thats free agency or a trade, Bridich said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
