VIDEO: Blues' Schwartz remains hot thanks to ref's assist

The referees appear to be giving St. Louis Blues forward Jaden Schwartz the benefit of the doubt.
Schwartz collected his second goal in three games since rejoining the club following a 49-game absence due to a fractured ankle on Tuesday thanks to an unlikely assist.
The 23-year-old picked up the easy goal against the Dallas Stars after Colton Parayko's dump-in hit the skate of a ref in the corner, and then bounced directly on to the stick of Schwartz.
Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen was clearly upset with the call, but the goal ultimately stood.
