The first period belonged to the New York Rangers. They controlled play, helped by two power plays. But of course, the Blues got on the board first when Ryan O’Reilly scored on a pass from David Perron. It was the fourth shot on goal by St. Louis and Henrik Lundqvist was partially screened on O’Reilly’s shot from the slot. Then Adam McQuaid took a holding the stick penalty and it didn’t look good for New York. Things changed at 18:18 when Tony DeAngelo had the puck at the blue line, but instead of taking the shot, he stickhandled towards the next and was tripped by Oskar Sundqvist.
