NHL Roundup: St. Louis wins, leads series 2-1
Instead, the Blackhawks seem content to play the Blues’ style, launching shots from up high and trying to deflect them past Elliott.

Those were two shots out of 46 as the home ice made the Blackhawks more aggressive on offense but not exactly successful.
“He wore me down”, said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock. “Wow, that’s pretty good”.
There is a long way to go in this series, given Chicago’s history and the fact that every game has been a one-goal game.
“He’s been OK”, said Hitchcock, tongue firmly planted in his cheek. Despite Chicago outshooting St. Louis 35-18 on the night, Brian Elliott walked away with a shutout and the win. The officials may impact the game but you can’t let it alter your own game.
“I’ve got to be smarter in that situation”, Kane said.
That’s a lot of ice team for Crawford and it will be interesting to see how he responds to a Blues team that is still seething over Vladimir Tarasenko’s overturned goal in Game 2.
Artemi Panarin was credited with an empty net goal with 1:26 remaining (assisted by Keith) and Shattenkirk scored with:02 left on the clock.
Game 4 is Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena.
Hickey scored on a one-timer off a pass from Brock Nelson from behind the net to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. This feels emotionally, very much like a final and it’s the first round, but it feels very much like a final.
Chicago and St. Louis then took it in turns to hold offensive momentum, with both teams having dominant spells in the opposition’s end.
Now here the Blackhawks are again, entering Tuesday’s Game 4 at the United Center having dropped two of three one-goal games with the Blues in their first-round series.
“I can’t be changing things”.
Colton Parayko and Patrik Berglund also scored for the Blues, who erased a one-goal deficit with back-to-back goals in the third period. After ending up on the wrong end of some interesting penalties in game two, the Blues found a way to shake that off and stay focused on the road ahead, even when game three started where game two left off (in terms of reffing).
The St. Louis Blues lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in game two of the Western Conference Quarterfinals and it felt like it was taken from them rather than the Blues actually losing it. The referees and perhaps the league itself made several controversial calls that ended up heavily impacting the game.
“The series has been really tight”, Parayko said. Craig Smith scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the second period before Shea Weber added the eventual game-winner 9 ½ minutes later to highlight the Predators’ 3-2 win over the Pacific Division champs.
Grit isn’t necessarily what has carried the Blackhawks to such great heights in recent seasons, but against a Blues team that specializes in teeth-rattling checks, Chicago has had to move up that element in its repertoire.

“No one said it was going to be a short series and even with them getting the win in Game 2, that didn’t affect us”, Schwartz said. First, it was Kyle Brodziak in the box, and then Jay Bouwmeester took consecutive penalties, with the second in the sequence the result of a boneheaded decision to play the puck before leaving the penalty box. Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, left, celebrates with goalie Corey Crawford after scoring his goal during the first period in Game 3 of an NHL hockey first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the St. Louis Blue… This time, they gave him the goal support he needed late and pulled out a W for their star netminder. “They have to go in and it did. So, if we keep doing this, they’re not going to have the opportunity” to explode.
