On Wednesday night, the St. Louis Blues beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in overtime to take the first game of their best-of-seven series.
Blues goalie Jake Allen made a career-high 51 saves in the game, and defenseman Joel Edmundson scored the OT winner with just over two minutes left in the extra frame to send the home team packing.
Minnesota dictated play for the majority of the game and held the puck in the Blues’ zone for extended periods of time but struggled to find the back of the net. Allen continued his hot streak and kept the Wild off the board for nearly the entire game.
