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 niederr

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 al
