The Blues ambushed St. Louis native Ben Bishop all night. The Stars goalie faced 54 shots in the game, making him just the fifth goalie in history to face 50 or more shots in a Game 7. Vince Dunn gave the Blues a 1-0 lead at 13:30 of the first period. Stars winger Mats Zuccarello tied it with an unassisted goal just 2:25 later.

Bishop uses one word to describe his feelings
St. Louis is back in the Western Conference finals for the first time since the 2015-16 season and just the third time since the 2000-01 season.
