mikael granlund with a shot 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

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.

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

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

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.

showers moving through the area. i'll show that you on future weather. and then as for as rain chances go, keeping a close eye on next sunday and monday. that is april 24th for the potential of very heavy rain. why am i talking about this snt pollen, tree pollen is through the roof. and we definitely need the rain. we're still in a moderate long term drought across the area. you need six to nine inches of rain in a month's time to get rid of that drought. the showers on the radar, they're not lowering pollen and they're not helping with our drought. they're quickly moving out of the area. again, maybe an isolated shower overnight. but for the most part, i think we're dry f you're considering having dinner outdoors, i would recommend you take the risk. take a look at future weather though. tomorrow starting off with 7:00 a.m. this say cold front moving through. notice this line of showers from haguers down back through petersburg. putting it into motion and stopping you at the mid morning hours. this is a chance of showers in montgomery, frederick and loudoun county. as we move towards the midday hours, you can see

most of us are dry. the best chance for any rain in the metro will be tomorrow around lunch time. and then during the afternoon, that rain chance shifts south of us down into southern maryland, fredericksburg and partsst northern neck and northern virginia. areas like culpepper county. by 4:00, we're continuing to track clear. and that sets us up for a spectacular, fabulous monday evening. but the pollen is high enough today for us to get an official pollen report. i can't recall this ever happening. a trees coming in very high. and you can tell just by looking at your car. i noe know mine is flooded in that yellowish green pollen. looking ahead, the only relief to lower the tree pollen would be next weekend on into the following monday. take a look at our temperatures though. we're in the upper 70s. we're in the low 80s here in the metro area. tomorrow morning we start off cool around 66. that chance of a shower mainly north of 7:00 a.m., mainly in the d.c. metro area around lunch time. othe

sunshine just gorgeous tomorrow evening. 4:00 we're in the mid 70s. we're in the low 70s. so the weather having a low impact on your day. that commute may be an isolated shower for some of us to deal w heavier lunch out doors, exercise about it afternoon and evening hours. really nice. just taking the dog for a walk. if you're having dinner out tomorrow night, it is going to cool quickly. sun sets around 7:30. erica 'tis dale looking really comfortable. upper 6 o's wednesday. low 80s by thursday. very spring like up and down the area. >> my car is covered. don't even get it washed. it's not worth it. >> and my head and eyes and sneezing, i know. okay. the wizards, they win game one in their play-off series and the home crowd had a lot to do it with. speaking of the fans, brice harp sent them home happy.
