Tyler Bozak wired a centering feed from along
the right-wing boards to Schwartz, who batted the puck out of
the air and past Connor Hellebuyck to stun the crowd in
Winnipeg. The Blues will look to close out the best-of-seven
series at home on Saturday night.
St. Louis overcame a 2-0, third-period deficit as Brayden Schenn
collected a goal and an assist and linemate Ryan O'Reilly scored
on the power play. Rookie Jordan Binnington finished with 29
saves for the Blues.
Winnipeg's Adam Lowry scored 12 seconds into the contest and
Kevin Hayes also tallied in the first period.
Hurricanes 2, Capitals 1
Petr Mrazek made 30 saves as Carolina evened the series against
Washington with a victory in Raleigh, N.C.
Warren Foegele, who scored on the game's first shift, and Teuvo
Teravainen notched goals for the Hurricanes, who never trailed
for the second straight game.
Alex Ovechkin posted the goal for Washington, which lost T.J.
Oshie to a possible arm injury after a hit from behind by
Foegele. Capitals coach Todd Reirden later said Oshie "won't be
playing any time soon."
Sharks 5, Golden Knights 2
Tomas Hertl scored two goals, and Martin Jones made 30 saves as

again to clinch in Game 6 on Sunday in Las Vegas.
