<p>The Blues came out of the gate quickly and capitalized on a power play opportunity a couple of minutes into the first period when Leon Draisaitl was called for high-sticking. Robert Thomas got the puck at Edmonton&#8217;s blueline and skated into the faceoff circle before roofing a wrist shot past Stuart Skinner&#8217;s blocker side.</p>

<p>St. Louis extended their lead to 2-0 a few minutes later with an even-strength goal from the team&#8217;s top line. Thomas fanned on a shot but stayed with the puck and fed it behind Edmonton&#8217;s net to Jordan Kyrou, who dished it out front to Pavel Buchnevich, who fired a quick shot past Skinner.</p>
