ST. LOUIS _ On what seemed like the 300th shot of the night for the Blues, Ryan O'Reilly lifted a backhand past a stubborn Antti Raanta. The puck bounced off the near post, off the back of Raanta ... and into the net.
Finally, on their 43rd shot on goal of the game, the Blues had found the net. It was that kind of hockey, tense, tight, and getting late in the season.
O'Reilly's 11th goal of the season was all the Blues needed in a 1-0 victory over Arizona before another sellout crowd of 18,096 at Enterprise Center.
