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.
