Centre Ryan O'Reilly, a heart and soul player on the St. Louis Blues, considered his team fortunate to be leading its NHL first-round playoff series with the Winnipeg Jets after Wednesday's Game 1.
“Yeah, that was a huge first win for us, especially for them outplaying us and hanging in the third and (goaltender Jordan Binnington) playing the way he did, we took that one, maybe even stole that one," said O'Reilly Thursday after helping St. Louis turn a 1-0 third-period deficit into a 2-1 victory less than 24 hours earlier.
