Blues challenging the Anaheim goal.

Blues hardly ever get these wrong and the goal is fortunately disallowed.

Neighbours scores! Second in as many nights.

A really good start for the Blues and the new 4th line. Good steal by Sunny to create everything

Blues successfully kill a four minutes powerplay. Let's see if they can kill this next one off too.

The Blues are allergic to getting the puck near the front of the net on the PP. They are so content to just pass it around the perimeter until taking a low percentage shot

And they do. Buchnevich scores!

Redemption!! A PP goal

Important faceoff win

Toropchenko scores!

Let's make it a three goal game.

Good win and good game by the third and fourth lines but I don't like Kyrou up with Thomas. I don't think they mesh very well together. The only points from first liners came from the power play.

Also, they move Kapanen to the third line and which line has a good game? Third line.

I agree. In any case, putting this team's 3 best forwards on the same line makes it impossible to have a reliable 2nd scoring line. Then, when you play good teams, and their best defensive line shuts down your top line, you can't score enough to win games.
