Blues' Brouwer to play in record 8th straight Game 7
Nobody on the St. Louis Blues wanted to play a Game 7 versus the Dallas Stars - nobody, except maybe forward Troy Brouwer, who's become quite acclimated with do-or-die games.
Brouwer will suit up for a remarkable eighth consecutive Game 7 on Wednesday night, adding to his NHL record.
The 30-year-old was eliminated in Game 7 by the Vancouver Canucks in 2011 as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks, then proceeded to play five series-deciding contests in three playoff runs with the Washington Capitals.
Wednesday, of course, marks the second Game 7 St. Louis will play this postseason, having slayed the Blackhawks in their deciding game in the opening round.
Brouwer has a record of 3-4 in his streak of Game 7s, and has only recorded one point: the series-winning goal versus Chicago last month.
