First Period

The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses, but it was Dalibor Dvorsky who shone early for the Blues by scoring their first goal. Despite this promising start, Nashville's Filip Forsberg quickly responded with an equalizer, setting the tone for what would become a tightly contested period.

Second Period

Roman Josi was instrumental in orchestrating these plays from defense, showcasing his ability to contribute offensively and defensively.

Third Period

In an attempt to mount a comeback, St. Louis managed another goal courtesy of Dvorsky again finding his mark; however, it wasn't enough as Nashville sealed their victory with one more goal late into regulation time.
