ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Roman Turek felt his best, and felt even better after finally winning his first game with the St. Louis Blues.

"I had a feeling tonight was the night," Turek said after stopping 20 shots in the Blues' 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

	Toronto's Garry Valk showed St. Louis' Todd Reirden his own version of the crease rule, but Curtis Joseph got pushed around in net.

Turek had been 0-3-0 since joining the Blues after being traded from the Dallas Stars.

"I felt a little better in the game against Detroit the other night, even though we lost," Turek said. "Tonight I felt good about every part of the game."

Blues coach Joel Quenneville said Turek played his best game of the season.

"He looked sharper tonight then he has in his first three games this year," Quenneville said. "I'm sure this win will help his confidence."

The Blues beat Toronto goaltender Curtis Joseph for only the fourth time in 13 games since Joseph left the Blues after the 1995 season.

The Blues led 1-0 after the first period on Terry Yake's first goal of the season. Yake scored on a power play at 19:57 on a shot that beat Joseph from the left circle.

The Blues made it 2-0 at 3:25 of the second on Jochen Hecht's first goal. Hecht beat Joseph with a slap shot from the left circle after a pass from Pavol Demitra.

Joseph was slow getting to the net on the Blues' third goal. Joseph went behind his goal to clear the puck, but it came out to Scott Pellerin for an easy goal.

Sergei Berezin scored for Toronto on a power play at 9:22 of the second period to make the score 3-1.

Mike Eastwood gave the Blues a three-goal lead again at 12:21 of the second period on his first score of the season. Mike Johnson made the score 4-2 at 17:23 of the third period.

Maple Leafs coach Pat Quinn said Joseph should have stopped Yake's goal, "but he couldn't do anything about the others. Not everybody on our team was playing hard tonight."

Turek made three saves on shots by Berezin during a Maple Leafs power play midway through the final period.

Pierre Turgeon and Craig Conroy each had two assists for the Blues.

The Blues were without Al MacInnis and the Maple Leafs were without Mats Sundin. Both are recovering from fractured ankles.
