Did Alex Ovechkin score? Nope.

Plus: Connor McMichael scored his 21st goal of the season, and it was pretty.

Minus: Tonight was not Charlie Lindgren’s night. The back-to-back Blues goals in the second period were a particularly rough look for him. Dylan Holloway’s goal 28 seconds after Connor McMichael’s tally was one Lindgren will definitely want back, and Colton Parayko scored 35 seconds after that on a delayed penalty.

Our Three Stars of the Game:
* Connor McMichael (1G, 1A)
** Pierre-Luc Dubois (1G)
*** Matt Roy (1A, +1)
