It was a heck of a playoff game but two 3rd period goals by the visitors was sufficient to give the Blues a 2 -1 win and allowed them to take a 1-0 lead in this series.

For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats here are the results from tonight’s game via Natural Stat Trick.

Jets Audio:

Blake Wheeler

Connor Hellebuyck

Patrik Laine

Nikolaj Ehlers

Coach Maurice:  Assessment of the game.  Evaluating the game of Patrik Laine.  Despite loss is he happy with where his team is at?  On the Blues taking over the game in the 3rd.  Drawing on the positives.  Is this tough or easy to move past?
