Stuart Skinner made 17 saves through two periods before Arturs Silovs made seven saves in the third for the Penguins (41-25-16, 98 points), who had already clinched second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Rutger McGroarty scored on a one-timer from the inside edge of the left circle off a faceoff win by Kevin Hayes to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead at 10:14 of the first period.
Avery Hayes forced a turnover at the St. Louis blue line and scored on a breakaway for a 2-0 lead at 16:40.
The Penguins forced another turnover as the Blues were trying to exit their zone and Mantha scored from the left hash marks to make it 3-0 at 17:23.
St. Louis got on the scoreboard at 18:44 of the first when Snuggerud scored off a feed from below the goal line from Robert Thomas to cut it to 3-1.
Elmer Soderblom reestablished a three-goal cushion when he got behind the defense and waited out Skinner as he dragged the puck in front and scored to make it 4-1 at 2:58 of the second.
The Blues answered with three straight goals in the period to tie it entering the third.
Oskar Sundqvist scored a rebound off a rush to make it 4-2 at 4:51.
Mailloux scored from the high slot to cut it to 4-3 at 10:37, and Snuggerud put in a rebound while on a power play to tie it at 15:49.
Holloway was left wide open in the slot and he gave the Blues their first lead, 5-4, at 4:11 of the third period.
Pavel Buchnevich scored on a breakaway 43 seconds later to make it 6-4, but Avery Hayes scored his own rebound just after a power play expired to cut it to 6-5 at 12:20.
Holloway sealed it with an empty-net goal for a 7-5 lead with 1:43 left.
The Blues conclude their season on Thursday at the Utah Mammoth.
