BLUES FACE BLACKHAWKS IN 2017 BRIDGESTONE NHL WINTER CLASSIC
The Blues will become the 23rd team to participate in a regular-season outdoor NHL game when they face the rival Blackhawks in the 2017 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Busch Stadium. St. Louis and Chicago have competed in the same division every season since 1970-71, tied with Boston and Buffalo for the longest active such streak in the League. They have met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs at least once in each of the past five decades, including twice in the past three years.

* This marks the fourth of five contests between the Blues and Blackhawks this season (STL: 1-1-1, CHI: 2-1-0). Chicago (146-113-45) boasts a 337-294 all-time points advantage in the 304 regular-season meetings between these clubs (STL: 123-133-48).

* The Blues and Blackhawks have met 12 total times in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with Chicago owning an 8-4 series edge. St. Louis, however, earned a seven-game victory in the opening round of last year’s postseason (3-2 W in Game 7).

MATTHEWS, ROOKIES LIFT MAPLE LEAFS IN CLASSIC START TO CENTENNIAL
The Red Wings erased a 4-1 deficit in the third period – including the tying goal with 1.1 seconds remaining in regulation – but Auston Matthews (2-0—2) scored at 3:40 of overtime to power the Maple Leafs to a victory in the 2017 Scotiabank NHL Centennial Classic at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, their fifth straight win overall.

* Matthews (20-12—32 in 36 GP), who registered his first career overtime goal, became the first rookie to reach the 20-goal milestone this season – and also tied Kings forward Jeff Carter (37 GP) for second place in the entire League.

* Matthews now paces rookies in goals (20), points (32) and game-winning goals (t-3) this season. He has 6-3—9 during a six-game point streak and 14-5—19 in 17 outings dating to Nov. 23.

* Rookies accounted for four of Toronto’s five goals, with Connor Brown (1-2—3) and Mitchell Marner providing the other tallies. The Maple Leafs boast three of the top four rookie scorers in the NHL this season: Matthews (1st; 20-12—32), Marner (3rd; 9-18—27) and William Nylander (4th; 8-17—25), who picked up one assist on Sunday.

DID YOU KNOW?
Seven of the nine goals in the 2017 Scotiabank NHL Centennial Classic were scored by players age 22 or younger: Toronto’s Auston Matthews (2x, 9/17/97), Connor Brown (1/14/94) and Mitchell Marner (5/5/97), and Detroit’s Anthony Mantha (2x, 9/16/94) and Dylan Larkin (7/30/96).

CENTENNIAL CLASSIC QUICK HITS . . .
* The Maple Leafs and Red Wings played the fourth overtime game in the NHL’s 20 regular-season outdoor contests. They also required extra time in their last such meeting, the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at The Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich. – a 3-2 shootout victory by Toronto.

* The Maple Leafs became just the sixth home team to win a regular-season outdoor NHL game (20 GP: 6-12-2). Road teams, however, have picked up at least one point in 16 of the League’s 20 regular-season outdoor games to date (14-4-2).

* The sellout crowd of 40,148 at the 2017 Scotiabank NHL Centennial Classic raised total attendance for the League’s 20 regular-season outdoor games to 1,094,443 – an average of 54,722 per game.

. . . RECORD-SETTING PERFORMANCES
Multiple regular-season outdoor NHL game records were set or tied during the 2017 Scotiabank NHL Centennial Classic:

* The Maple Leafs (4) and Red Wings (3) totaled seven goals in the third period, setting the record for combined goals in one frame of an outdoor game. Toronto also tied the individual team record for goals in one period of such a contest.

* Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg (0-3—3) matched the single-game outdoor record for assists (and points). In doing so, he became the NHL’s all-time leader in career assists/points in outdoor games (0-7—7 in 4 GP).

* Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha (2-1—3), who scored the tying goal with 1.1 seconds left in regulation, and Maple Leafs forward Connor Brown (1-2—3) also tied the single-game outdoor record for points.

* Mantha and Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews (2-0—2) matched the single-game outdoor record for goals.
