Stanley Cup Playoffs: Jaden Schwartz Hat-Trick Leads St. Louis Blues to Round Two
ST. LOUIS, MO - APRIL 20: Blues players surround St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington (50) after winning the first round Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the Winnipeg Jets and the St. Louis Blues, on April 20, 2019, at Enterprise Center, St. Louis, Mo. (Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
The St. Louis Blues beat the Winnipeg Jets in six games exactly like predicted in the Winnipeg Jets vs. St. Louis Blues series preview. Blues star rookie, Jordan Binnington, made incredible saves that kept the Blues in the series, the top lines battled their hearts out and the away team won almost every game. The Blues also saw a late surge of scoring from middle-lineup players like Jaden Schwartz.
Here are the three storylines that were the most entertaining in this opening round series:
Jaden Schwartz, Jordan Binnington Shine as St. Louis Blues Trump Winnipeg Jets
Jordan Binnington Saves The Blues Again
As expected, Binnington was outstanding for the majority of the series. He didn’t seem nervous at all, despite harassment from Jets fans, during his first appearances in the NHL playoffs. There is room for improvement in the second round, though. Binnington did not play nearly as well as he did during the regular season. Playing in all six games, he gave up 16 goals on 173 shots, setting a goals-against average of 2.63 and a .908 save percentage.
These numbers are down from his regular season stats of 59 goals on 807 shots, a 1.89 goals against average and a .927 save percentage. Yet, while his postseason numbers aren’t nearly as good as they were in the regular season, they are still surprising considering the Blues defense hung Binnington out to dry more often than not. During Game 6, Blues “Inside the Glass” reporter, Darren Pang, commented on this. A former NHL goalie himself, Pang mentioned that virtually no Jets were able to beat Binnington on a straight shot. Most goals were instead, “one-timers or scored off of broken-down plays,” as Pang put it.
Rookie goaltender Binnington continues to amaze with his skill and his saves. He deserves an immense amount of credit for keeping the Blues competitive in every game this round. If he can play this well in the next round, the Blues could have a good chance of making the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2016.
Two Destructive Offenses
The Jets regular season top line of Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheelerremained the same during the six-game series. The three combined for six goals and nine assists for 15 points throughout the series. They outplayed the Blues top line in every aspect of the game.
The Blues top line struggled in the first few games of the series. The struggles led head coach, Craig Berube, to change the lineup a bit. He promoted David Perron to the top line, with Ryan O’Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko. He also created a very strong second line, including Schwartz, Brayden Schenn, and Oskar Sundqvist. In six games, Perron, O’Reilly, and Tarasenko combined for nine points. The line of Schenn, Schwartz, and Sundqvist was the real story, though. In the last two games of the series, the three combined for eight points and were a collective +6.
Luckily for the Blues, they have plenty of non-first line forwards who stepped up in the first round. Jaden Schwartz had three goals in Game 6 and a total of five points in the series. It’s also worth mentioning that captain and first-pairing defenceman Alex Pietrangelo had six assists in the series. At the start of round one, it looked like the Jets had plenty of scoring depth as well. However, they started to look tired and beat up towards the end of the series. The fatigue was so apparent, that it wouldn’t be surprising if it were announced that a few Jets forwards were playing injured. If their other three lines could have kept pace with their prolific first line, the Jets could have easily bypassed the Blues.
Physical Play
The Jets had a list of ways to win this series, and at the top was physical play. The Blues had thrived on speed for most of their amazing comeback this season. The much bigger-and-stronger Winnipeg lineup tried to shut this down by making each game very physical. During the first two games, in Winnipeg, the Jets combined for a whopping 68 hits and 14 penalty minutes. This was 21 more hits, and six more penalty minutes, than the Blues managed in those games.
St. Louis quickly adjusted, though. They out-hit the Jets in Games 3, 4, and 6. These high hit-totals came on the backs of some unsuspecting players. Ivan Barbashev totaled an amazing 20 hits through the six-game series. Half of these hits came in Game 3 alone, where Barbashev recorded more hits than the entire Blues defense. Schenn also proved to be much more physical, with 17 hits of his own. These players stepping up helped shut down one of the main strategies the Jets deployed.
Is Having Home-Ice Really An Advantage?
The away team won in each of the first five games of the series. It almost seemed impossible for the home team to win no matter how loud the home team cheered or what the score was. Anything could happen in the third period. In Game 5, in Winnipeg, the Blues were down 2-0 in the third period. Then, they managed to come back and win the game 3-2 in regulation. This win came on the backs of a Schwartz goal that came with only 15 seconds left in the game. Come Game 6, the Blues were finally ready to win on home ice and they did with a pronounced 3-2. While having a home-ice advantage is nice, it certainly doesn’t guarantee a win. Just ask the Jets, whose fans went crazy during every game. At the end of the day, it comes down to which team worked harder, not which team’s fans screamed the loudest.
The Blues will play the winner of the Dallas Stars vs. Nashville Predators series. Currently, Dallas is up 3-2 headed into Game 6 in Nashville. Either way it goes, it is going to be another hard-hitting series for the Blues. If the Blues can continue playing with discipline as they did in the last few games of this series, Binnington can keep making timely saves and the offense can stay productive, including Jaden Schwartz staying hot, they just might be able to make it to the Western Conference Finals.

NHL HEADS TO AUSTRALIA TO START THE 23-24 SEASON
By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings
HARTFORD, CT - After much prep work, the NHL announced that it would officially kick off the 2023-24 season with its "Global Series" featuring a pair of games on September 24th and 25th in Melbourne, Australia between the Arizona Coyotes and the Los Angeles Kings.
The Western Conference games will be played at the Rod Laver Arena. The Rod Laver Arena, named after the Australian tennis legend, is the home of the Australian Open, international basketball events, and concerts in Victoria, Australia.
This will be the first set of NHL games played in the Southern Hemisphere.
It's safe to expect some tie-ins with the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). The AIHL is set to start its regular season play this weekend.
Expect either team to sign free-agent-to-be and the first Australian to play and score in the NHL, Nathan "Stormy" Walker, who left home at 13 with his parents' blessing to pursue his hockey dream.
Walker played with the St. Louis Blues and spent some of last year in Springfield with the Thunderbirds.
Another current AIHL player in what will be his tenth and likely last season will be Cheshire, Connecticut native Robert "Bert" Malloy, a dual citizen playing with the expansion Central Coast (Evina, NSW-New South Wales, AUS) Rhinos.
However, next week, he will first play for the Australian National team - The Mighty Roo - in the IIHF Division II Group B play in Madrid, Spain.
The other countries in the field include; Croatia, the nation of Georgia, Iceland, Israel, and host Spain.
The AIHL plays a short season. Their championship, The Goodall Cup Final, will be held two weeks before the NHL games in Melbourne.

HARTFORD WOLF PACK AND SPRINGFIELD THUNDERBIRDS PRE-GAME
PRE-GAME REPORT: HARTFORD WOLF PACK AND SPRINGFIELD THUNDERBIRDS SET TO RENEW ‘I-91 RIVALRY’
By: Alex Thomas, Hartford Wolf Pack
SPRINGFIELD, MA – The Hartford Wolf Pack continue their five-game road trip tonight as they make the short trek north to Massachusetts for a mid-week battle against the rival Springfield Thunderbirds.
Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m., and coverage is available on both AHLTV and Mixlr.
Tale of The Tape:
This is the sixth of twelve meetings between the Wolf Pack and the Thunderbirds this season. It is the third of six visits to the MassMutual Center for the Wolf Pack and the first since December 28th. The sides will next meet on March 3rd, back in Springfield. That will be the first of five meetings in March between the rivals. They’ll meet in Springfield on March 8th, then play at the XL Center in Hartford on March 17th, 24th, and 25th. The season series will come to a close on April 15th in Springfield.
The Thunderbirds claimed a 2-1 victory in the last meeting between the rivals on New Year’s Eve. Will Bitten broke the ice 11:19 into the hockey game, snapping his tenth goal of the season by Louis Domingue. Matthew Robertson responded with his third goal of the campaign just 8:07 into the middle stanza, evening the affair.
The Wolf Pack outshot the Thunderbirds 8-4 in the final twenty minutes, but Joel Hofer slammed the door shut to preserve a point for the visitors. After a thrilling three-on-three overtime, the sides headed to the shootout for the second time in the season series.
This time, the Thunderbirds would prevail as Jake Neighbours scored the lone goal of the skills competition. Hofer, meanwhile, denied all three Hartford shooters.
The Thunderbirds hold a record of 4-0-0-1 through the first five meetings this season. The Wolf Pack, meanwhile, are just 1-3-0-1. The Thunderbirds have won both meetings in Springfield, outscoring the Wolf Pack by a 12-5 margin.
Wolf Pack Outlook:
The Wolf Pack rattled off their second straight comeback victory on Sunday evening, stunning the Lehigh Valley Phantoms by a final score of 6-4. Trailing 3-1 after forty minutes, the Pack struck five times in the final frame to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Will Cuylle struck 7:16 into the period on the powerplay to make it a 3-2 game, but Garrett Wilson would complete the hat-trick for the Phantoms just 2:08 later, making it a 4-2 affair.
Gustav Rydahl scored a hat-trick of his own, making it a 4-3 game at 12:50 and then tying the affair via a one-timer from the top of the crease at 15:32. Libor Hájek broke the tie at 18:00, while Turner Elson hit the empty net at 19:25 to cement the comeback victory.
Hájek’s goal came after a scrum in front of the net, as Elson pushed the puck into the slot for the defenseman to fire home his first AHL goal since March 1st, 2020.
After not winning a game all season when trailing by two goals or more in the third period, Hartford did it twice in less than 24 hours over the weekend. The Pack also defeated the Providence Bruins by a score of 3-2 in overtime on Saturday night after trailing 2-0 in the final frame.
Tanner Fritz leads the Wolf Pack in scoring with 30 points (4 g, 26 a) on the season. Fritz’s 26 assists also lead the club in that category. He registered three assists in the third period of Sunday’s win.
Cuylle, meanwhile, leads the club in goals with 16. Forward Bobby Trivigno has multiple points in back-to-back games. After scoring a goal and an assist on Saturday, Trivigno had two helpers in the third period on Sunday. The Wolf Pack are 6-0-0-0 when he scores two or more points in a game.
Thunderbirds Outlook:
The Thunderbirds also concluded their three-in-three weekend positively with a victory on Sunday. The T-Birds edged the Bruins 3-2 in Rhode Island.
Georgii Merkulov gave the Bruins a lead 17:23 into the hockey game, but the T-Birds scored twice in the middle frame to take their own lead. Former Bruin Brady Lyle tied the affair 5:43 into the second with a powerplay goal, then Mitchell Hoelscher put the T-Birds ahead with his sixth goal of the season at the 8:43 mark. However, Justin Brazeau responded for the home side, striking at 18:36 to send the game to the third period deadlocked at two.
That’s where Hoelscher would strike for the second time, popping home the game-winning goal at 5:34. The win earned the Thunderbirds a 1-1-1-0 record on the weekend.
Matthew Highmore leads the Thunderbirds in points with 46 (12 g, 34 a) on the season. He is currently with the parent St. Louis Blues (NHL) after being recalled late last week. Martin Frk leads active skaters with 44 points (19 g, 25 a). Forward Adam Gaudette, acquired via trade on Friday from Toronto, leads the club in goals with 20.
