From the opening period, the St. Louis Blues set a strong pace with an early goal that put them ahead. The Anaheim Ducks responded quickly to even out the score by netting their only goal of the night during this period as well. However, it was in the third period where the Blues truly shined by scoring two additional goals to secure their lead and ultimately clinch victory.

The Blues' powerplay unit capitalized on one out of three chances while maintaining perfect defense during shorthanded situations.


Faceoffs were another area where St. Louis excelled; winning sixty-two percent overall which included two-thirds won during powerplays and nearly sixty-six percent at even strength play – showcasing their control over puck possession throughout various phases of play.


Defensively, both teams were active in blocking attempts but it was again St. Louis who edged out with twelve blocks to Anaheim's fifteen despite fewer opportunities presented to them.


In goaltending performance, there was clear distinction as well; while both teams' goalies faced similar numbers of shots – twenty-eight for St. Louis and twenty-seven for Anaheim – it was St.Louis' goalie who emerged superior saving ninety-six percent compared to eighty-nine percent from his counterpart from Anaheim.
