During a late third-period play in a hockey game, St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk was in serious pain after being tripped by Manson, which led to him laboring to the bench and being helped to the locker room. The Colorado Avalanche secured a 2-1 lead late in the third period thanks to a goal by Devon Toews, which was initially thought to be redirected by Miles Wood in front of the crease with assists from Johansen and Nichushkin. The goal came with under three minutes left in regulation after a play where Sundqvist and Kapanen fell, leaving Toews with a wide-open shot that might have hit something in front. For the Blues, Scandella's late return to the bench suggested that his injury might not be as serious as feared.
#stlblues are leaving him behind to be evaluated.
Scandella returned to the bench late so #stlblues may have dodged something there
Looks like it’s Toews’ goal actually. https://t.co/sZ72v7JfHN

Toews gets a wide-open point shot because of Sundqvist and Kapanen falling on the play. Sundqvist lunged out, tripping Kapanan and Nichushkin. Toews shot might've hit something in front, 2-1. #stlblues
Wood redirects a dying puck in front of the crease to get the Avs ahead 2-1 with under three minutes left in regulation. Johansen and Nichushkin with the assists #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
