ST. LOUIS -- Alex Burrows scored his second goal of the game with 18.9 seconds to go in overtime and Roberto Luongo made 47 saves to help the Vancouver Canucks complete a four-game, first-round sweep of St. Louis with a 3-2 victory over the Blues Tuesday night.
Kyle Wellwood also scored for the Canucks, who won a series before the seventh game for the first time in 12 tries since 1994.
Brad Boyes and David Perron
scored for the Blues, who rallied from a two-goal, second-period
deficit thanks to increased traffic around Luongo. But more power play
woes doomed St. Louis, which was 0-for-7 with the man advantage and
1-for-23 in the series including a four-minute double-minor midway
through overtime.
