Joel Hofer made 28 saves for his third career shutout as the visiting St. Louis Blues blanked the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 Thursday night.

Mathieu Joseph had a goal and two assists for the Blues, who won for just the second time in 10 games. Justin Faulk had a goal and an assist for St. Louis and Nick Bjugstad also scored.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen allowed two goals on 16 shots for the Sabres, whose seven-game point streak ended.

Buffalo outshot St. Louis 7-4 in the first period, but the Blues took a 1-0 lead.

The Sabres got a power play when Blues defenseman Cam Fowler took a hooking penalty to thwart a Buffalo rush. After Hofer's glove save on Josh Doan's point-blank shot, the Blues countered with a short-handed goal.

Joseph stole the puck at Buffalo's left point and converted his breakaway.
