NHL 4-30

Last night, the St.Louis Blues defeated the Dallas Stars by a score of 4-3 on the road. The game was close, with the Blues leading 2-1 after the second period. The 3rd period featured a lot of action with 4 goals traded between teams in the last 7 minutes of play. With a little after a minute left to go the game looked destined for overtime as both teams were tied at 3, that’s when Blues player Patrick Maroon went top shelf on Dallas goalie Ben Bishop to take the lead. St.Louis was able to hold on for the remaining minute and take 2-1 series lead. Looking forward to tonight’s match-ups that feature two series tied at one game a piece. The Boston Bruins will face-off against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at 7pm in Columbus. I think that the Blue Jackets will win this game, playing well in front of their home crowd for the first time since they ended Tampa Bay’s season on April 16th. The later game will feature the Colorado Avalance vs. the San Jose Sharks at 10pm in Colorado. Since the game will be in Colorado, I’m sure that the Avalance will have a lot of momentum after winning the last game in San Jose, however I’m not counting the Sharks out as I believe they are one of the more talented teams left in the playoffs.
