After Edmonton's Jari Kurri became the third player in NHL history to score 70 goals in a season, Dave Reid, Louis Sleigher and Rick Middleton connected for Boston, which led by at least two goals the rest of the way. With a 40-foot slap shot that went between Keans' pads at 5:49 of the first period, Kurri joined teammate Wayne Gretzky and former Bruin Phil Esposito as the only players to get 70 goals in a season.

The Friars will face the winner of tonight's Rensselaer-Minnesota-Duluth game for the NCAA title.

Cyr took Sutter's place on left wing with center Bernie Federko and Mullen. When the Blues fell behind by 2-0, Demers replaced Cyr with Mark Johnson on that line. The Canadiens' first goal came at 15:51 of the first period on a 40-foot slap shot by winger Mario Tremblay. Wamsley said later that he was screened and didn't puck up the shot until the last moment. The Blues dominated play early in the second period, but nothing clicked.

The Canadiens upped their lead to 2-0 when defenseman Craig Ludwig shot from the point and the puck deflected in off winger Lucien Deblois, who was tied up in front by defenseman Terry Johnson. "That's typical Craig Ludwig," Wamsley said with a smile. "Shoot three feet wide and hope it hits somebody." Demers said that was the kind of break the Blues needed but couldn't get.

Ludwig and 3. Nilan Sutter had played in all 74 of the Blues' games before Thursday night. The only Blues players to go the distance so far are Rob Ramage, Mark Reeds and Tim Bothwell.

Davis is maried to Fox's sister, Kelly. Spring Training Dodgers Talk Blues From page one Blues let each one slip away. Right wing Joe Mullen set the tone for the evening when he failed to score on a big chance in the game's first minute. After goalie Steve Penney stopped a shot by Cyr, Mullen pulled the rebound wide and had a lot of open net, but he shot along the ice into Penney's outstretched arm.

"If I get the first one, it's a different game," Mullen said. "I had plenty of time, but I just didn't get it up." Missed chances seem to beget more missed chances as one game follows another. "We don't have confidence in our offense right now," said Blues Coach Jacques Demers. "I thought that for 40 minutes we had the better chances, but the puck doesn't want to go in for us." Demers had high praise for Penney, but Penney is merely the latest in a series of goalies who have looked good during the Blues' slump. "We're definitely making the goalies look better than they are," Mullen said.

"You can't say we're running into a hot goaltender every night." The loss of Sutter's firepower didn't help. After suffering a Charley horse in his left leg Saturday night, Sutter had limped through the Blues' 4-2 loss Wednesday night in Toronto. Not wanting to risk further injury to him, Demers held Sutter out Thursday night. And he is questionable for To For Schmidt and that he was showing partiality to the 22-year-old Dunston by playing him more this spring.
