The third period and overtime passed without any change to the scoreboard, leading to a decisive shootout where St. Louis showcased their precision under pressure.

St. Louis' goaltender was nothing short of heroic between the pipes, saving all but one of Philadelphia's shots during regulation and overtime for a save percentage rounded up to 100 percent from actual figures just shy of perfection. In total, he faced down 41 shots from Flyers' offensive efforts and conceded only once.

Special teams played a critical role as well; although neither team could capitalize on powerplay opportunities – with St. Louis having three chances and Philadelphia two – it was ultimately in the shootout where special skills came into play that determined the outcome.
