• That's that. Game over, regular-season over. Up next: Game 1 vs. the Flyers.
• GOAL: Blues into the empty net. Blues 7, Penguins 5
• Arturs Silovs to the bench with three minutes left.
• GOAL: Avery Hayes with his second of the game with 7:40 left. Puts in his own rebound. Blues 6, Penguins 5
• Ryan Graves breaks up a prime scoring opportunity.
• GOAL: Blues get a quick one. Pavel Buchnevich on a breakaway. Blues 6, Penguins 4
• GOAL: Blues get their first lead of the game. Dylan Holloway. Jack St. Ivany lost the puck along the boards, Holloway was left all alone, wide-open in the slot. Blues 5, Penguins 4
• Joona Koppanen sets up Rafael Harvey-Pinard on a two-on-one but RHP is denied.
• Third period is underway. Arturs Silovs is in net. Stuart Skinner is on the bench.
• End of the second. It's 4-4. Shots are 21-14 Blues. Hopefully Wilkes-Barre won't run into the Blues in the playoffs.
• Ben Kindel just got stuck out there without his stick and was using his body, swiping at the puck with his hand, laying out and blocking shots like this is a big game.
• GOAL: Blues tie it on the power play. A rebound goes off Jimmy Snuggerud's skate and in, he got a stick on it as it went over the line it looked like. Penguins 4, Blues 4
• The Penguins have 11 hits. Four are from Ryan Graves, four are from Jack St. Ivany.
• GOAL: Logan Mailloux. Stuart Skinner was screened by Joona Koppanen. Penguins 4, Blues 3
• GOAL: Oskar Sundqvist makes it a two-goal game. A bit of a "Welcome to the NHL" moment for Jake Livanavage there. Penguins 4, Blues 2
• Kevin Hayes' fingerprints are all over this game so far. He's 6-0 in draws, two assists, seems to have the puck on his stick every time he's out there. He was great in the Capitals games too. How do you take him out?
• GOAL: Elmer Soderblom takes the puck to the net, uses his big frame to hold off Tyler Tucker, then taps it in. Penguins 4, Blues 1
• Second period is underway.
• The Blues didn't get a single unblocked shot attempt with Justin Brazeua, Joona Koppanen or Rafael Harvey-Pinard on the ice.
• End of the first period. Rutger McGroarty, Avery Hayes and Anthony Mantha have the Penguins up 3-1. Shots are 8-5 Penguins.
• GOAL: Blues get on the board with 1:17 left. Jimmy Snuggerud off an Ilya Solovyov turnover. Penguins 3, Blues 1
• GOAL: And another quick one. Anthony Mantha from the left circle. Kevin Hayes made that happen with a keep-in at the blue line for the assist. Penguins 3, Blues 0
• GOAL: Avery Hayes on a breakaway. Penguins 2, Blues 0
• Penguins kill the penalty.
• Penguins to the PK with 5:22 left in the first. Elmer Soderblom gets two for interference.
• Nice applause for Kevin Hayes when his assist is announced over the PA.
• GOAL: Rutger McGroarty opens the scoring. Kevin Hayes wins the draw over to McGroarty, McGroarty snipes it. Penguins 1, Blues 0
• Justin Brazeau gets one behind Jordan Binnington but Tyler Tucker sweeps it out of the crease.
• Game 82 is underway here in St. Louis.
• Nice of Dan Muse to start Kevin Hayes here against his former team.
• Jake Livanavage is the sixth player to ever wear No. 57 for the Penguins and first since Anthony Angello. Rafael Harvey-Pinard is the sixth player to wear No. 48 for the Penguins. Valtteri Puustinen wore it last.
• Same lines and pairings as this morning:
Ville Koivunen - Tommy Novak - Justin Brazeau Elmer Soderblom - Ben Kindel - Anthony Mantha Rutger McGroarty - Kevin Hayes - Avery Hayes Rafael Harvey-Pinard - Joona Koppanen - Noel Acciari
Ryan Shea - Connor Clifton Jake Livanavage - Jack St. Ivany Ryan Graves - Ilya Solovyov
