St. Louis trailed 2-0 before it exploded midway through the first period.
O’Reilly scored from a tough angle when his shot hit goalie Robin Lehner’s leg and bounced in at 10:15. It was his first goal in nine games since returning from the COVID-19 list.
Bozak followed with his first goal of the season about a minute and a half later when he jammed in a deflection from the left faceoff circle. Faulk had fed the puck into the slot for Klim Kostin, who redirected it on goal. Lehner made the save but Bozak put home the rebound.
Then, 33 seconds later, Faulk beat Lehner on a breakaway with a wrist shot up high, his first goal since the Blues' second game this season.
St. Louis scored three or more goals in a period for the first time since Nov. 4 at San Jose.
Saad scored on the power play early in the second. He has four goals in his past three games and eight this season.
Mikkola, who returned after a stint on the COVID-19 list, capped the scoring midway through the third.
Stephenson scored for Vegas 36 seconds into the game, putting back a rebound of a shot from the point by Alex Pietrangelo. Stephenson leads the Golden Knights with 17 points, including six goals.
