In what might have been the most exciting, back-and-forth period of hockey in this postseason, The St. Louis Blues scored a 3-2 Game 7 win over the reigning NHL champion Chicago Blackhawks.
Forward Troy Brouwer produced the goal that put a long-frustrated franchise over the top against the defending Stanley Cup champions
Jori Lehtera scored his first career playoff goal, and rookie defenseman Colton Parayko also scored for the Blues, who avoided another inglorious finish.
It is the first time the Blues advanced past the first round since 2012. St. Louis plays Dallas in the next round.
