Schenn on Tucker: "That's a great teammate right there. His job hasn't been easy this year. He hasn't played a whole lot and when he comes in he does his job. He's feisty. He's fighting tough guys. That's what he needs to do. Solid effort by him. He was awesome for us." #stlblues

Brayden Schenn cashes in on the power play with a one-timer. Give Tyler Tucker the unofficial assist for putting them on the power play with the fight. Tied at 1.
When you sit in the pressbox as long as Tucker has, you're definitely going to leave it on the ice when you get back in. He laid that hit on Kane and was looking for the bout. The Blues come out with a PP, as Kane gets the extra two minutes for unsportsmanlike. #stlblues
Tyler Tucker is trying his best to make an impression with a fight against Evander Kane. There's some snarl, and Kane gets an extra two for unsportsmanlike conduct. Blues power play coming up.
