Third Period


As play resumed in the third period, it became clear that fatigue might have set in for both sides; however, it was Detroit who managed to pull ahead decisively by adding three more goals to their tally while keeping St. Louis scoreless during this segment of play.


Despite valiant efforts from players like Robert Thomas and Justin Faulk who each contributed two assists throughout various periods of gameplay - ultimately helping secure four points collectively - these were not enough against an aggressive opponent such as Detroit's Jonatan Berggren whose performance earned him recognition among top stars alongside teammate J.T Compher (1st star) & Neighbours (2nd star).
