St. Louis Blues: Media Notes

 The Streak ContinuesJake Allen stopped 17 shots in Game Four, extending his streak of allowing two or fewer goals to 12 games (reg. + postseason). During that span, he has posted a League-best 1.39 GAA and a .946 SV% that includes 278 stops on 294 shots (goalies with at least10GP since Mar. 15).  Narrowing the focus, he has conceded just one goal in six of his eight starts since the beginning of April,recording a 1.26 GAA and a .951 SV% in that stretch.  Through the first four games of this series, Allen’s .935 SV% is 7th and his 1.51GAA is 3rd overall in the postseason.  Though a rookie, Allen is no stranger to high-pressure hockey as he played 29 total playoffgames while in the QMJHL, won the Gold Medal and MVP at the 2008 U18 WJC and earned the Silver Medal at the 2010 WJC Series TallyThe Blues and Wild are currently knotted a two as each team has earned both a home and road victory.  The Blues have drawn 2-2after four games on 21 occasions in their playoff history – they are 8-13 in those series Go AheadThe Blues scored first and went on to win both Game Two and Four and have now won four straight playoff games when doing so.  Onthe flip side, they have dropped nine straight postseason matches when conceding the first goal.  During the regular season, theyranked 4th overall with a 36-6-4 record when tallying the first goal Helping HandKevin Shattenkirk notched three assists for his third multi-assist game of the series in Game Four.  It was the first three-assistpostseason game by a Blues defenseman since Carlo Colaiacovo on Apr. 16, 2012 vs. San Jose (3a).  Along with Corey Perry,Shattenkirk shares the League lead with seven playoff points overall (0-7-7), while he has a strong chance to tie a Blues record for themost assists in a six-game series – held by Wayne Gretzky, who had nine in 1996 vs. Toronto There’s A PlusJay Bouwmeester’s +4 rating in Game Four was not only a personal playoff career high, but just the sixth time a Blues defensemanhas recorded such a rating in club playoff historyJay Bouwmeester, Apr. 22, 2015 vs. MINBill Houlder, May 17, 1995 vs. VANGarth Butcher, May 7, 1993 vs. TORJeff Brown, Apr. 12, 1991 vs. DETScott Stevens, Apr. 12, 1991 vs. DETGordie Roberts, Apr. 18, 1990 vs. CHI Tough DrawThe Blues rank 3rd overall with a 54.4% F/O win% this postseason, including Jori Lehtera’s 60% effort, which ranks 4th among allskaters.  During the regular season, the club was second only to Boston (53.6%) with a 53.4% win rate in the faceoff circle – thefranchises best-ever faceoff season on record Sharp ShooterExcluding his empty-net goal, Vladimir Tarasenko has scored on 57.1% (4 for 7) of his shots on goal this postseason (14% during thereg. season) Running WildPaul Stastny leads all current Blues with 19 points (9-10-19) in 26 career postseason games, while 12 (7-5-12) of the 19 have come in17 postseason outings against Minnesota

Both of the Wild’s two series last postseason weretied, 2-2, headed into a fifth game on the road. The Wild is looking for its first 3-2 series lead in playoff history. The Wild heads back to the road, where it is 1-1 this series. This season, Minnesota set franchise records in single-season road wins(24) and points (50). The Wild also set a franchise record and tied the NHL record with 12 consecutive road wins (2/18-4/9) in its final13 road games. Minnesota led the NHL with a .850 win percentage (16-2-2) in road games since Devan Dubnyk’s first game on Jan.15, as he posted a 15-2-1 record, .949 SV% and 1.53 GAA in 19 road games with the Wild – allowing two goals or less in 16-of-19. Minnesota has posted a 2-6 record in Game 5 all-time, winning both Game 5’s before series victories in 2003’s Round 1 and 2. The team scoring the game’s first goal has won every game this series. This season, the Wild went 35-6-4 when scoring first, includingwins in 22 of its last 25 games where it netted the opening goal. Entering play Thursday, the Wild ranks second amongst playoff teams with 22.8 shots against/game (TB, 19.7). Minnesota has stopped 6-of-7 (85.7%) St. Louis power-play opportunities this series. The Wild did not take a single penalty in Game 3,matching its playoff low and recording the postseason feat for the first time on home ice. Minnesota led the NHL with an 86.3% penaltykill rate this season, including an NHL-best 87.8% PK rate on home ice. The Wild successfully killed 32 consecutive opponent powerplays, 1/27–2/22, posting a 90.8% RK rate (89-of-98) in 36 games following the NHL All-Star Break. Minnesota hasn’t lost consecutive games in regulation since Jan. 11 and 13 (pre-Dubnyk). Since the All-Star Break, the Wild only lostconsecutive games once, which included a shootout loss. In that 36-game span to finish the season, the Wild only lost two games bymore than one goal. Zach Parise is tied for the Wild lead in assists (3) and points (4) this series. The alternate captain has 19 points (6-13=19) in 22 playoffgames with the Wild, already the Wild’s all-time leader in playoff assists and ranking second in playoff points all-time – just three shy ofMarian Gaborik’s 22 points (12-10=22) in 29 playoff games. Parise leads all Wild players with 62 points (27-35=62) in 83 career playoffgames. Despite missing eight games this season, Parise led the Wild in goals (33), points (62), PPG (11) and shots (259) – only TylerSeguin had more goals in fewer games amongst all NHL players. Parise’s plus-21 rating set a franchise record for highest seasonrating amongst all Wild forwards in Wild history. The 30-year-old finished the season with 32 points (19-13=32) in his final 39 games,ranking T-5th amongst NHL players in goals in that span. That stretch began Jan. 15, not only the marker in the Wild’s seasonturnaround, but also the day before his father’s funeral. Zach’s dad, former Minnesota North Star J.P. Parise, passed away from lungcancer on Jan. 7. Zach tallied at least one point in nine of his 13 playoff games last postseason, totaling 14 points (4-10=14).

He set a franchise record with 38 consecutive starts for the Wild (1/15–4/7).

The alternate captain has led every Wild player in TOI in 21-of-22 (95.5%) playoff games during the last threepostseasons, and opponents in 19-of-22 (86.4%). He’s led all NHL players in TOI/game each of the last three seasons since joiningMinnesota, ranking T-1st on the Wild with 36 assists this season. Ryan’s father, U.S. Olympian Bob Suter, passed away unexpectedlyfrom a heart attack nine days before the start of this season’s Wild Training Camp, Sept. 9. Nino Niederreiter has two points (1-1=2) in a two-game point streak and eight points (4-4=8) in 17 career playoff games, including theGame 7 OT winner in the Wild’s Round 1 victory vs. Colorado last postseason. He’s T-1st in Wild history with two playoff GWG. The 22-year-old set career highs in goals (24), points (37) and blocked shots (32), leading the Wild a career-high five GWG and 155 hits duringthe regular season. He became the first Switzerland-born player to score at least 20 goals in an NHL season (Elias Sports Bureau). TheWild went 16-3-0 when he scored a goal this season and is 27-6-0 when he scores a regular-season goal in his career with Minnesota. Jason Zucker started the series scoring with his second career playoff goal in Game 1. The 23-year-old finished the regular seasonwith three goals in three games, including the game winner in Chicago that clinched Minnesota’s playoff berth – a game that marked hisreturn after surgery on a broken clavicle caused him to miss 27 games. The Las Vegas native missed last year’s postseason with alower-body injury but returned this season to post career highs in games played (51), goals (21), assists (5), points (26), GWG (3), SHG(1), shots (124), hits (67) and blocked shots (13).
