NHL Playoff Picture 2019: Analyzing Postseason Races, Standings and Bracket

The St. Louis Blues were in big trouble late in the third period Wednesday night in Chicago.

They were trailing the Blackhawks 3-1 after Patrick Kane had lifted a deft backhander over goaltender Jake Allen, and it seemed the opportunity to add to their point total in the NHL's Central Division standings would go by the board.

Instead, David Perron scored a power-play goal and Tyler Bozak struck in the final minute of regulation to tie the score, and the Blues managed to send the game to extra time and pick up one point.

However, they were unable to get the second point as the Blackhawks survived in a shootout and took a 4-3 decision.
