Nice to see Blais continue to play well since his return to the lineup, driving to the net often, and setting up there. Nice deflection goal. Good for The Blues to score first.

And The Blues are on the power play, so maybe they can extend their lead.

The Blues were pretty sloppy on that power play. Maybe Bortuzzo's fight can help The Blues capture back the momentum.

I'm hoping Kostin. I wonder how many players have raised the KHL cup and Stanley Cup in the same season?
As you might've already guessed, the answer is ... Zero. But there are six former NHL/KHL players whose names are on both the Stanley Cup & the Gagarin Cup: Oleg Tverdosky; Slava Kosloff; Serge Zubov (with an asterisk - he was a team coach when his team was the KHL champ); Pavel Datsyuk; Alexander Ovechkin
and Nicklas Backstrom (double asterisk - neither were on their KHL team's roster when the Gagarin Cup was passed around, but their former team decided to include their names for regular season playing time while the NHL was on pause that year).

Thank goodness Husso is playing very well early this game. The Blues need to score the next goal, to take the pressure off him.

Never doubted he would.

Great that Husso has kept all the loose pucks under him, and not let any be muscled into the net. His play has really impressed me tonight.

I don't think I jinxed Husso by praising his play tonight. Eriksson-Ek made a super move back around and shot quickly off it, and Parayko was partially screening it as well.

We're going to have to get a ruling on that from the officials.

Having Sanford on the ice in the final minute probably isn't a decision I would've made but hey, love the confidence.
