St. Louis starting goaltender Manny Legace left the game after the first period with a strained left hip flexor and did not return. Legace allowed two goals on 12 shots.

Legace had tripped on a red carpet while coming into the ice before the game. The carpet had been laid for a pre-game event in which Republican vie presidential nominee Sarah Palin dropped the puck.

Legace was replaced by Ben Bishop, who stopped 15-of-17 shots in his NHL Debut. The 21-year-old, at 6-foot-7, is the tallest goaltender ever to play in the National Hockey League.
