It was the outcome Jake Allen deserved.

The St. Louis Blues goaltender, who was by far the best player in Game 1, watched as star forward Vladimir Tarasenko crafted the game-winning play at the other end of the ice by somehow managing to get the puck through the Minnesota Wild defense and on to the sick of Joel Edmunson.

Allen made 51 saves on the night, allowing one goal to Zach Parise with 23 seconds remaining in regulation that sent the game to overtime.

For Edmundson, it was his first career overtime winner.
