Jaskin, Schwartz score as Blues beat Predators 2-1
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues needed a spark. Dmitrij Jaskin gave it to them.
Jaskin scored in his first playoff game this season, Jaden Schwartz got the game-winner and the Blues topped the Nashville Predators 2-1 on Friday night to stay alive in their second-round series.
Jaskin found out moments before the game he was in the lineup in place of Alexander Steen, who was sidelined by a lower-body injury. Jaskin had just one goal in 51 games this season.
“Steener, even though he didn’t play, he supported us,” he said. “He actually called that I’m going to score.”
