The St. Louis Blues came into Anaheim hoping for a victory over the Ducks. As far as the hockey went, it did not start all that well.
The Blues lucked out that they did not give up the lead in the first handful of minutes. The Ducks hit a double-post in their very first shot on goal.
After that, the Ducks would eventually score on a tipped shot a little over five minutes into the game. The Blues, as is their way, responded with Ivan Barbashev scoring after a turnover just about two minutes later.
