THE BLUES OUST STARS IN GAME 7, ADVANCE TO CONFERENCE FINALS

The line of Robby Fabbri (1-2—3), Troy Brouwer (1-2—3) and Paul Stastny (1-2—3) combined for 3-6—9 to lift the Blues past the Stars and to their first appearance in the Western Conference Finals since 2001 (4-1 L vs. COL).

The Blues improved to 8-8 in 16 all-time Game 7s, including a 4-6 record as visitors. They earned their first Game 7 win on the road since the 1999 Western Conference Quarterfinals at PHX (1-0 OT W).

The Blues, who defeated the Blackhawks in Game 7 of the First Round (3-2 W), posted multiple Game 7 wins in the same playoff year for the second time in franchise history. The only other such occurrence was in 1967-68, their first season in the NHL (QF vs. PHI and SF vs. MNS).

St. Louis set a club record with six goals in Wednesday’s Game 7 victory. They had never scored more than three goals in any of their 15 prior Game 7 appearances.

The Blues will face the winner of Thursday’s Game 7 between the Sharks and Predators. They have faced San Jose four times in the playoffs (2-2) and never have met Nashville in the postseason.
