The St. Louis Blues have become the latest NHL team to beat back the demons in the first round the Stanley Cup Playoffs as they finally beat the Chicago Blackhawks, winning Game 7 by a score of 3-2. Ending the defending the champions reign was not easy, as the Blackhawks continued battle back after falling behind in the series three games to one. After losing Game 5 in double overtime, the Blues jumped out to a 3-1 lead in Game 6 in Chicago. However, the Blackhawks stormed back with five unanswered goals to force Game 7. The Blues jumped out early in Game 7 at the Scottrade Center scoring one minute into the game on a goal by Jori Lehtera. Colton Parayko added a second goal to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead. The champs battled back and the game was tied until former Blackhawk Troy Brower put the Blues in front to stay with 11:29 left as Brian Elliott made several big saves to preserve the win.
