The Stars took Game 2 thanks to their young Finns and special teams, writes SportsnetSpec.
The St. Louis Blues haven’t been to a Stanley Cup Final since they were part of the Original 12. Back then, they were by far the best of the six expansion franchises, but got swept in three straight finals from 1968-70.
Hintz was a dominant force in Game 2, closing the game with two goals and an assist, and three shots on goal. He came up from AHL Texas and has 9-13-22 in 58 games with the Stars this year, and at game’s end Saturday he had moved past Carolina’s Warren Foegele atop the playoff rookie scoring race with 4-3-7. He’s 22 and plays an all-around game with a nice mix of skill and physicality.
The Stars are the best team in the NHL playoffs right now at 94.1 per cent, a number that is otherworldly, especially at this crucial time of year. If you kill penalties at that rate, it can literally tilt a series, and the Stars have given up one goal in 20 shorthanded opportunities. At 29, however, Pietrangelo is beginning to give some minutes up to young Parayko, who played the second most minutes on the St. Louis blue line this season. In Game 2, Parayko had a goal and an assist as part of a giant group of Blues defencemen where it seems like everyone is at least 6-foot-3.
