VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Canucks coach Willie Desjardins knows this formula for success cant be sustained. Its making a fun little ride, though.Henrik Sedin scored 1:40 into overtime after Bo Horvat tied it late in the third period, lifting Vancouver over the St. Louis Blues 2-1 on Tuesday night.Horvat scored with 2:55 left in regulation, helping Vancouver to its third consecutive comeback win to start the season. Jacob Markstrom made 23 saves.We cant keep playing that way, said Desjardins. We are not going to keep winning if were behind.Vladimir Tarasenko scored in the second period for St. Louis, and Jake Allen had 24 stops.The winner came after Markstrom made a nice glove save in the extra period and played the puck to keep the play moving. Christopher Tanev worked a nice give-and-go with Daniel Sedin, and then Tanev took a light shot that Henrik Sedin re-directed in for his first of the season.The Canucks trailed both of their previous games heading into the third. Horvats goal snapped a streak of 177 minutes, 34 seconds of shutout hockey by St. Louis against Vancouver dating to 2015-16.I thought we played a good game, though, said Desjardins, whose club won just three times when down after 40 minutes in 2015-16.The whole game we played well and we generated stuff and just didnt score. We believed if we stayed with it something would go in and it finally did, and overtime can always go either way.Vancouver has won twice in overtime and once in a shootout to start the season.When you know you are able to come back it just brings a calmness to the team, Henrik Sedin said. Even being down against a really good team tonight, we are confident we are going to get chances and come back and thats a huge difference.The Blues took the lead at 10:23 of the second after Allen stopped Henrik Sedins initial shot and then the rebound on a flurry in front. St. Louis broke the other way on a 2-on-1, with Tarasenko ripping his fourth of the season shortside on Markstrom.You move on, said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock, whose team was looking to win four straight to open a season for just the second time in franchise history. Getting points on the road is key.The Canucks had a number of excellent chances leading up to the goal, with both Markus Granlund and Horvat hitting the post before Allen stopped Daniel Sedin from the slot.Vancouvers power play, now scoreless on 10 opportunities to start the season, had a chance midway through the third, but could only muster a single shot from the point that Allen handled with ease.St. Louis then hit the post on a partial breakaway off the stick of Patrik Berglund, and the Blues forward crashed into Markstrom, who made a great back-to-back saves on Nail Yakupov and Paul Stastny from in close moments later.Markstrom was expected to get the night off after winning his season debut, a 4-3 overtime triumph against Carolina on Sunday, but No. 1 goalie Ryan Miller arrived at Rogers Arena on Tuesday morning feeling a little tight, according to Desjardins.That thrust Markstrom back into the crease and forced the club to dress University of British Columbia goalie Matt Hewitt as an emergency backup because it couldnt get another netminder from within the organization to Vancouver in time for the game.The Canucks looked to have taken the lead with 6:10 left in the opening period on Luca Sbisas first of the season, but the goal was waved off after video review because of a distinct kicking motion by the Vancouver defenseman on a play that resulted in a St. Louis penalty for hooking.Game notes Hewitt, a native of nearby New Westminster, played three seasons with the WHLs Regina Pats before continuing his career in university hockey. ... The Canucks were also forced to use a UBC goaltender during the 2003-04 season due to injury. Chris Levesque dressed for one game as Johan Hedbergs backup when Dan Cloutier, now Vancouvers goalie coach, went down during the morning skate. ... Former St. Louis goalie Brian Elliott picked up consecutive shutouts against Vancouver last March.UP NEXTBlues: Play at Edmonton on Thursday night.Canucks: Host the Sabres on Thursday night.

We asked 32 of ESPNs college football writers, editors and analysts to rate players on a scale of 0-10 based on their expected contributions for the 2016 season.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 |50-41 | 40-31 |30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Jalen Tabor Florida Gators Junior | Cornerback Score: 8.45Despite the attention All-American Vernon Hargreaves III received last season, there are some around Floridas program who thought Tabor was better and much more consistent all year. Tabor snatched four interceptions in 2015, with two going back for touchdowns, and tied for first in the SEC with 18 passes defended.Jourdan Lewis Michigan Wolverines Senior | Cornerback Score: 8.46The senior cornerback might have been a first-round draft pick this spring after setting a school record for pass break-ups (22). Instead, hes back for an encore and his ability to blanket receivers in coverage could be the key to making Michigans blitz-happy defensive scheme work.Jamal Adams LSU Tigers Junior | Safety Score: 8.52Yet another LSU underclassman whose potential has turned pro scouts heads, Adams looks like a future first-round pick as he enters his junior season. Adams led the Tigers with four interceptions and 10 pass breakups last season, and will once again be a centerpiece of one of the nations top secondaries.Raekwon McMillan Ohio State Buckeyes Junior | Linebacker Score: 8.53The Buckeyes already viewed McMillan as the prototype at middle linebacker as far back as his recruitment. Last season, he started living up to that billing in his first full-time spot in that role, piling up tackles, becoming a vocal leader and laying the foundation to go down as the latest in a long line of stud linebackers from Ohio State.Derwin James Florida State Seminoles Sophomore | Defensive Back Score: 8.66As a true sophomore, James has established himself as one of the countrys elite players. Labeling him simply as a safety is unfair considering his star quality at cornerback, linebacker and even rush defensive end, too. The five-star talent is expected to leave Florida State as one of its best defensive backs ever.Jonathan Allen Alabama Crimson Tide Senior | Defensive End Score: 8.76Talk about your ideal 3-4 defensive end. Allens 6-foot-3, 294-pound frame is perfect for stopping the run. But hhis quickness, which resulted in three sacks of Mississippi States Dak Prescott last season, is underrated.ddddddddddddA potential first-round pick last season, Allen returned to spearhead a D-line that could be even better at sacking the quarterback this year.Calvin Ridley Alabama Crimson Tide Sophomore | Wide Receiver Score: 8.83And we all thought Alabama would miss Amari Cooper and his Heisman-caliber numbers in 2014. Little did we know that a clone of Cooper -- nearly identical in size, speed and style -- was waiting in the wings. Ridley, who grew up in the same area of South Florida, was an instant-impact freshman last season, breaking the 1,000-yard receiving mark.JuJu Smith-Schuster USC Trojans Junior | Wide Receiver Score: 8.86Hes built in the prototypical matchup nightmare size: At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, Smith-Schuster has proven to be a physical terror for small cornerbacks -- his stiff-arm prowess fills many highlight reels. But Smith-Schuster is also a fast and smooth route runner, and that turned into 89 catches, 1,454 yards, and 10 touchdowns last year.J.T. Barrett Ohio State Buckeyes Junior | Quarterback Score: 8.87His sophomore season might not have gone entirely as planned, but by the end of it, the dual-threat weapon was once again firmly in control of Ohio States vaunted attack and piling up touchdowns. Healthy and freed from a quarterback battle, hes poised for another record-breaking campaign.Nick Chubb Georgia Bulldogs Junior | Running Back Score: 8.90Despite suffering a horrific knee injury in the middle of last season, Chubbs rehab is reportedly way ahead of schedule. In two seasons, Chubb has rushed for 2,294 yards and 21 touchdowns. Chubbs 9.5 yards per carry outside of the tackles in 2015 was the second most in the Power 5.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 |50-41 | 40-31 |30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Voters: Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Brian Bennett, Kyle Bonagura, David Ching, Heather Dinich, Matt Fortuna, Kevin Gemmell, David Hale, Travis Haney, Brock Huard, Chantel Jennings, Sharon Katz, Sam Khan Jr., David Lombardi, Chris Low, Tom Luginbill, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Erik McKinney, Ted Miller, Dan Murphy, Max Olson, Greg Ostendorf, Adam Rittenberg, Alex Scarborough, Jared Shanker, Mitch Sherman, Phil Steele, Jake Trotter, Tom VanHaaren, Austin Ward ' ' '
