Vladamir Tarasenko got the Blues on the board first, curling into the slot and ripping a snap shot past Braden Holtby to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead.
Alex Ovechkin took a nasty tumble behind the net halfway through the frame, and he remained frighteningly still on the ice for several moments. He returned to the game, but let’s keep an eye on the Captain’s health.
It’s 1-0 Blues after one.
Second period ahead…
