The St. Louis Blues<\/a> are one game away from their first Stanley Cup Final in 49 years after routing the San Jose Sharks<\/a>, 5-0, in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final. St. Louis leads the best-of-five series three games to two after Jaden Schwartz<\/a> <\/strong>notched a hat trick.<\/p>\n

Jordan Binnington<\/a> <\/strong>got the shutout with 21 saves and Vladimir Tarasenko<\/a> <\/strong>scored on a penalty shot and added two assists for St. Louis. San Jose goalie Martin Jones<\/a><\/strong> was under siege most of the game after facing 40 shots. He made 35 saves for the Sharks.<\/p>\n

Jaden Schwartz<\/a> Goes Off<\/h1>\n

The 26-year-old got his second hat trick of the post-season to reach 12.<\/a> He’s already surpassed his regular-season total of 11 in the playoffs. The Wilcox, Saskatchewan native has been on a tear as his 12 goals have come in just 18 playoff games.<\/p>\n

Schwartz is the first player in franchise history to get two hat tricks in the same post-season. He’s also the first player to get two playoff hat tricks since Johan Franzen<\/a><\/strong> did it in 2008 for the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jaden Schwartz is the first player in @StLouisBlues<\/a> history to score multiple hat tricks in a postseason and first on any team to do so since Johan Franzen in 2008 (w\/ DET). #NHLStats<\/a> #StanleyCup<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/7Ow997VEcI<\/a><\/p>\n
