In a night that was celebrated by St. Louis Blues fans for their recent Stanley Cup championship, the Washington Capitals crashed the party and left the Lou with a 3-2 win thanks to Jakub Vrana and a comeback effort by a band of brothers on a mission to reclaim Lord Stanley’s Chalice.
The Caps found themselves in an early hole when Sammy Blais lit the lamp 53 seconds in.
At 6:40, Jonas Siegenthaler headed to the box for slashing Alex Pietrangelo putting the penalty kill to the test for the first time.
