Coach Maurice: Status of Brandon Tanev. Reflecting on last night’s game. Does he need to see more from the Kevin Hayes line and him specifically? Figuring out the buttons to get Patrik Laine “fired up”. On the Blues chances in the 3rd period. What makes a play like the Bozak goal difficult to defend? Giving up a 3rd period lead (10 times this season). On holding those 3rd period leads. Are there games from last year’s playoffs that he can lean on?
