The Blues advanced to play Nashville in the second round, with Game 1 against the Predators at home in St. Louis. Paajarvi’s first career playoff goal gave Blues coach Mike Yeo the satisfaction of beating the team that fired him a little over a year ago. The Blues didn’t play a disciplined game, giving the Wild six power plays. They were 1 for 12 on the power play entering the afternoon, with the only score on a 5-on-3. The Wild had a goal waved off earlier in the third period for goaltender interference on Nino Niederreiter.
