Best of NHL: Ovechkin’s hat trick leads Capitals to victory

Brayden Schenn scored 15:06 into overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. Schenn, circling in the neutral zone, took a stretch pass, raced in and fired a shot high past Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom for the defending champion Blues’ first win this postseason. David Perron and Justin Faulk also scored, and Jake Allen stopped 39 shots as St. Louis pulled to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Mark Scheifele’s controversial hit on Jake Evans was called “disgusting” by at least one Canadiens player, but the Jets coach called it “clean” and “a hell of a hit.”
