‘Buffalo dug in and tried to find the energy to finish this off, but they wouldn’t have been able to do it without some great third period goaltending from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. He frustrated the Blues Vladimir Tarasenko more than once with the final time with 1:48 left from the right circle. Luukkonen had made a great save on Tarasenko early in the period, Tarasenko stole the puck from Jeff Skinner and came right down Main Street, only to be turned away. Earlier in the period, Luukkonen foiled Brandon Saad who had a partial breakaway.’
