DENVER (AP) - Evgeny Grachev scored his third goal in four preseason games, and Adam Cracknell and David Backes added goals to lift the St. Louis Blues to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.

The Avalanche cut the Blues' deficit to one on two occasions, but fell to a Blues squad that is 2-1 in preseason action.

Colorado rookie Tyson Barrie ended Jake Allen's shutout bid with a shot from the top of the left circle at 12:48 of the third.  It was Barrie's second goal and third point in two straight contests, earning a point on every Avalanche goal scored in the preseason thus far.

Paul Stastny scored for the Avalanche from up at 19:15 of the 3rd period, but it wasn't enough, as the Avalanche fall to 0-2 in preseason play.
