- 11/21/93 BLUES BEAT LIGHTNING 4-2
- ------------------------------------
-
- The St. Louis Blues finally beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 at the St.
- Louis Arena after losing to them twice in their previous two meetings.
- The Blues came out storming in the first period outshooting the Lightning
- 20-5 and scoring three goals to lead 3-0. If not for Pat Jablonski, the
- Blues could have scored more. Jablonski was very brilliant but his team
- was overmatched by his former teammates.
-
- Brett Hull got the Blues going with a power-play goal at 6:05 of the period,
- 10 seconds into Rob Ramage's boarding penalty. While the Blues worked the
- puck at the points, Hull sneaked into the high slot and snapped the shot past
- Jablonski after a sharp pass from Craig Janney. Emerson got the second assist.
- The Blues continued to apply pressure, with the checking line of Bob Bassen
- Rich Sutter and Philippe Bozon swarming all over Jablonski. The former Blue
- didn't crack, but his teammates did. Brian Bradley was caught for holding
- at 11:17.
-
- Jablonski made three big saves, two on Jeff Brown and another on Emerson,
- before Korolev circled out of the corner and beat Jablonski with a slap shot
- between the pads at 12:41 for his third goal of the season. The shot was the
- Blues' 15th of the period. Garth Butcher's high-sticking penalty at 15:33
- should have put the Lightning on the attack, but Blues' penalty killers Bassen
- and Rich Sutter spent as much time in Tampa's zone as they did defending their
- zone. The Blues didn't allow a shot on goal on the Tampa power play, and
- Butcher jumped into a three-on-two rush when the penalty expired. Hull skated
- past Marc Bergevin and poked the puck to Rick Zombo, who slid a pass to
- Butcher in the crease. Butcher batted the puck past Jablonski at 17:44 for
- his first goal of the season. The three goals was the most for the Blues in
- the first period of a game this season, and the 20 shots on goal was their
- most in a period this season.
-
- The Blues seemingly had the game under control, but they promptly gave it back
- to the Lightning at the start of the second period. The Lightning started the
- period as the Blues started the game, scoring twice in the first 3:39 to cut
- the Blues' lead to 3-2. First, Shawn Chambers slid the puck to a wide open
- Creighton in the slot, and Creighton beat Blues goalie Curtis Joseph at 1:47.
- Then, after Zombo's tripping penalty at 3:21, Bradley zipped past Lee Norwood
- on a give-and-go with Chambers at the Blues' blue line and raced in on right
- wing. Bradley slid the puck under Joseph at 3:39 to cut the Blues lead to 3-2.
-
- Hull missed two golden opportunities to restore the Blues' two-goal lead a few
- minutes later. He wound up and rifled a big slap shot into Jablonski's pads,
- then was robbed by a sliding Jablonski on a snap shot from the slot. Hull
- showed his frustration as he skated off the ice, slamming his stick -- and
- breaking it -- on the glass by the Blues' bench. The Blues averted disaster
- midway through the period when Murray Baron and Butcher took penalties in a
- span of 1:08. The Blues killed Tampa's 52-second, two-man advantage and the
- remainder of Butcher's penalty to come out unscathed.
-
- Emerson then slipped a shot past Jablonski with 2:04 left in the period, the
- only bad goal the former Blue gave up all night. Defenseman Peter Taglianetti
- took Korolev and Janney out of the play along the right wing boards, but not
- before Korolev slid the puck toward the slot. Emerson snapped a shot that
- deflected off Jablonski's stick.
-
- Both teams were scoreless in the third period despite the Blues outshooting
- the Lightning 12-5. The Blues outshot the Lightning 42-25 in the game.
-
- The game's three stars: 1 - Nelson Emerson (1 goal and 2 assists).
- 2 - Pat Jablonski (38 saves).
- 3 - Igor Korolev (1 goal and 1 assist).
