from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,

At 21, he's a little older than your average rookie and that extra experience could be a huge benefit to a legit Stanley Cup contender. If the Blues needed anything...

My 3 Stars of the Game
1. Vladimir Tarasenko, STL. A goal and 2 assists, and generally wreaking havoc offensively and forcing the Predators to pay extra attention to him as the game went on. For anyone still doubting, maybe that first game wasnât a fluke.
2. Patrick Hornqvist, NSH. Also with a goal and 2 assists, and was also involved in a couple other stellar chances...
