The St. Louis Blues failed to get on the board in this game as Tuuka Rask stood tall for his second shutout in just six games played. Rask, like the perfection line in Boston, is on fire. After the shutout, Rask moved to five wins with a 1.48 GAA and .952 SV%. YIKES!
The St. Louis Blues didn’t play poorly in this game. Vladimir Tarasenko was out due to an upper-body injury suffered against the LA Kings. He was starting to heat up and play an effective Tarasenko style of play, so we knew the scoring would have to come from elsewhere.
