CHICAGO -- It got lost in the replays and the decisions by officials and the hoopla that followed. It got lost that a few millimeters were all that separated St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko from two goals in Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round series against the Chicago Blackhawks.
He had one shot on goal in Game 1, though he had four shot attempts blocked and three more that missed the goal. That, it seemed, wasn't enough, not for a 40-goal scorer who led the Blues offense this season.
That changed in Game 2.
