stopped by allen. no rebound. >> pierre: it's the right idea. they have plenty of time. they've got the bodies in front. win the face-off. good job by koivu and a little help from granlund. get the puck back. you see stall there. koivu is ready to jump in if there's a big rebound. they do the right things. jake allen doesn't give them the opportunity to do what they need to do and that is get a rebound. >> john: two guys right there for it. empty net situation. koivu their best will take the draw. the top face-off artist in the game. dubnyk will await. minnesota possession again. suter. will settle it down. granlund from the wall. out in front a chip off the side of the goal by you could voi. steen in pursuit. suter. the winder blocked by pietrangelo. it kicks out. 1:48 left. along the boards the tie-up.

patrik berglund along the boards he'll dump it out. icing is called here. 1:41 left. >> pierre: this high slot redirect by mikko koivu is something else, john. granlund to koivu presents a target through the legs of berglund. jake allen had to fight that off with the left pad. that is just phenomenal reactions. zach parise. game one. granlund, parise. off the koivu stick to the back of the net. they've done that before, john. >> john: set play. now the strategy, being talked about. st. louis we're ready for that again, i'm sure. 1:41 left. game three. off the draw. spurgeon. suter. parise. ryan suter. zach parise. off the stick. defended by alex steen.

in the screen out of play. >> pierre: you like the white puckle ride, john? >> john: love it. >> pierre: time-out for minnesota. >> john: so minnesota now will burn it. each team has called a time-out. that's all you get. 92 seconds left. >> pierre: jake allen's faced 41 shots in this game. faced 52 in game number one. and look at him here this afternoon in st. louis. i mean he's been all over. he's been anchored. he's been solid. rebound control. more times than not he's been exceptional. and i think the biggest thing is more traffic for minnesota. harder game for them to play. i think he's handled it fantastically well, john. really solid. >> john: from the outside of this series. where he had 51 saves in game one. not as many shots in game two. but lots of quality.

emerged as a top flight goaltender here in the late stages of his regular season and continuing in the playoffs. everybody up here at scottrade. false start. we'll get this situated again between patrik berglund and mikko koivu. >> pierre: koivu's had his way with him the last two. interesting to see if berglund tries to change his tactics at all. he's not going to win it clean i don't think. he's going to need some help from the support guys on the wings. >> john: kicked out by bouwmeester. gained by granlund. in deep for parise. pietrangelo, steen on the wall for st. louis. parise. 1:20 on the clock.

alex pietrangelo for jay bouwmeester. he'll take a hit make a play. try to get it out. they do. berglund a handoff for steen. empty net. third goal! >> pierre: probably the best tandem playing in the national hockey league playoffs. 27 in blue, alex pietrangelo. 19 in blue, jay bouwmeester. you see them look up. strong on the boards. give it up from berglund to steen in the back of the net. the defense tandem makes that happen. what a job by jay bouwmeester and an excellent job by alex pietrangelo. and you can see the teammates and the coaches know it. well done by both of them. >> john: absolutely outstanding. hard work of alex steen. but the payoff the empty net goal. dubnyk to the bench again. 3-1 game st. louis up by two.

60 seconds left. attempting to get a tracklehold and a three-game lead in the best of seven series. game four wednesday night. 49 seconds left. under the scrum, niederreiter, along the boards, moving by brodziak. the blues punch it out again. no icing. he'll never make it. spurgeon coming back. 35 seconds left in regulation time. marco scandella, through the middle. nino niederreiter, all the way back. parayko. checked by niederreiter. 24 seconds left here in st. louis. game three. what a game he has had today as he comes back out. parayko. he'll count it down. niederreiter.

later this year. that worked out really well. today we topped out. so far 86 in philadelphia, denise burks it's all about this cooldown but another 72 hours. i'll get to the that in just one moment, so right now we're seeing 84 degrees in philadelphia. notice these winds right now coming out of the southwest. sustained wind speeds at 23 miles per hour gusting up to 31 miles per hour, and that's because question to have a cold front moving on through. so current temperatures in and around the philly metro area. chestnut hill currently 84 degrees along with fox chase. and manayunk also saying mid-80s right now. unseasonably warm. for the lehigh vale lots of upper 70s and low 8 ols. allentown at 81 and whitehall currently at 82 degrees. nazareth, easton and bethlehem all at 81 degrees and walnut port one degree cool ker at 80, but certainly nothing to complain about there. harmony hills 84, glass glue 84.

again, notice the directions of the wind, southwesterly. millsboro 82 degrees and milton currently in the mid-80s as well. that's pretty much the story around the entire delaware valley. right now the big story is the wind starting to increase. we're seeing sustained wind speeds at 22 miles per hour for bover, wildwood 18 for you. wilmington 15 and allentown really strong wind speeds, and that's because we do have that cold front sweeping on through, and it will start to bring us a couple of isolated showers, possibly one or two isolated thunderstorms, so a wider perspective here. this is a great image. notice this line of showers here and some embedded thunderstorms moving from northwest towards the southeast. that is that cold front moving on through, and because temperatures for today were so warm, it was really destabilizing the atmosphere. i don't think this is going to be a washout, but we do have showers moving on through. already getting some reports that we've been seeing some rain moving across parts of the philly metro area.

so hour by hour forecast, we'll time this out for you starting at 6:00 p.m. notice that for the most part conditions are going to be pretty much dry. we're not expecting too much to go on right now, and that's because for the most part the atmosphere is dry but sometimes that cold front will squeeze out some showers as well as one or two isolated thunderstorms. overnight lows for tonight, the average low in philadelphia is 44 degrees and we're seeing 6 is for tonight and in philadelphia and wilmington 62 and allentown you're going to be warm, 57 degrees. mt. holly and trenton, your expected overnight low 60 for you, so have a great night and enjoy. and look at your ten-day outlook. tonight, overnight lows are going to look like what we're going to see on wednesday. once that cold front really settles into place. of 2 is the expected high temperature so we're going from 80s today and 80s tomorrow and then low 60s by wednesday. seasonable and then we go back into the 70s by thursday and then back into the 60s and that's going to be the trend, so

i really hope everybody got out side today and enjoyed the day. >> getting windier and colder. >> all right, thank you and danny has sports. >> thank you very much. there's been some intense nba playoff games so far. we'll find out if today eats matchup lived up to that billing and the phyllis with late-inning drama in the nation's capital once again and the president's race is just as competeity. all the fun next in sports. vanessa: i got hurt and was given painkillers. by the time the drugs ran out, i was addicted. it happened so fast. i ended up on the streets, where the drugs are cheaper and easier to get. i was a full blown heroin addict, selling my soul to get high. when i realized i needed help i didn't know where to go. but i got help and you can too. you're not alone. help is within reach. this is governor chris christie. call 844 reach nj or visit reachnj.gov.
