BOSTON -- The St. Louis Blues are Stanley Cup champions for the first time.
The Blues defeated the Boston Bruins 4-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden on Wednesday.
Jordan Binnington made 32 saves; Alex Pietrangelo and Ryan O'Reilly each had a goal and an assist; and Brayden Schenn and Zach Sanford scored for St. Louis, which entered the NHL in 1967-68 and had never won a Cup Final game in three prior appearances (1968-70).
St. Louis was last in the NHL standings on Jan. 3.
"What an unbelievable year," Pietrangelo said. "I don't even know what to say. Where we were to where we are now ... I tell you what, I've never been more proud to wear this jersey with this group of guys. It's unbelievable."
