In Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, the St. Louis Blues faced the daunting task of closing their first-ever championship run on the road in Boston. Holding a one-goal lead with under a minute left in the first period, Alex Pietrangelo, trailing the play, received a drop pass from Jaden Schwartz inside the Bruins' zone. Skating in on net, Pietrangelo shifted the puck to his backhand and fired it past the goalie, stunning the Boston crowd with just eight seconds remaining in the period. His goal, which would stand as the game winner, propelled the Blues into the intermission with momentum that carried through the rest of the game. Pietrangelo, the team captain, also tied for the league lead in playoff assists that season with 16.
