For the first time since winning the franchise’s first-ever Stanley Cup championship in 2019, the St. Louis Blues are moving on to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs.

Jordan Binnington made 25 saves and the Blues beat the Minnesota Wild 5-1 on Thursday night in Game 6 to advance to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Ryan O’Reilly, Tyler Bozak and Vladimir Tarasenko scored in a dominant second period during which the Blues outshot the Wild 22-5 and took control of the game.

Nick Leddy also scored, Colton Parayko added an empty-netter and David Perron had two assists.

The Blues had at least one power-play goal in each game. They went 8 for 26 in the series.

Tarasenko passed Doug Gilmour for the fourth-most postseason points in Blues franchise history with his hat trick in Game 5. Tarasenko (57 points) is one point shy of tying Al MacInnis for third.

The Blues will travel to Colorado to face the Avalanche in Game 1 of the second round. The date and time have not yet been announced.
