St. Louis Blues Get Soft But Defeat the Ottawa Senators

At first it looked like the St. Louis Blues were going to make their general manager, Doug Armstrong look like a genius. Dmitrij Jaskin got the game started very early, roofing a goal at 3:36 of the first period to give the Blues an early 1-0 lead.

At 12:53 of the first, Jaden Schwartz would get the goal on the powerplay to make it 2-0. That goal was the first of two powerplay goals as the Blues’ man-advantage was cooking with grease on the night.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 30th of the season – the first Blue to have back to back 30 goal seasons since Brad Boyes – in the second period to make it 3-0, firmly setting the Blues in command of the game – or so we thought.
