The St. Louis Blues are one win away from advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs after a 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday at United Center.
Though they were outshot 42-20 in Game 4, the Blues never trailed. They were led by two goals from Vladimir Tarasenko, then added a power-play marker by Jaden Schwartz and Alexander Steen's first of the playoffs.
Down 2-1 in the late stages of the second period, the Blackhawks tied the game after they were gifted an unlikely power play. Goaltender Corey Crawford went after Blues forward Robby Fabbri for a perceived goaltender interference infraction. But the Blues remained unfazed by both the aggression and the questionable officiating, keeping their cool in the third period to seize the win.
After losing two games on home ice, the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks will face elimination as the series shits back to St. Louis.
Game 5 is set for 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday at Scottrade Center.
