The St. Louis Blues became the third team to punch their ticket to the conference finals on Tuesday night. St. Louis edged Dallas 2-1 in overtime to make the Western Conference Finals where they await either San Jose or Colorado. The Sharks and Avalanche will face off in Game 7 tonight to close out the conference finals.

Pat Maroon was the hero for St. Louis last night. Maroon is a native of St. Louis, so seeing him notch the series clinching goal in double overtime brought many fans to tears. It was the second time he had scored a game winning goal this series, as he also tallied the game winner in Game 3.

Ben Bishop was phenomenal in the net for the Stars last night, and his performance almost led to Dallas stealing the series. Bishop stopped 52 of 54 shots in Game 7, and was fantastic throughout the series.
