Near the end of practice at Brentwood, rookie defense-man Bret Hedican jammed his hand against the boards. Precautionary X-rays were taken on the injured wrist They showed no fracture, and coach Brian Sutter expects Hedican to be ready for tonight's regular-season finale with Minnesota at The Arena. Hedican had scored his first National Hockey League goal and first NHL point on an empty-netter the night before in a 5-3 victory over Chicago. Defenseman Garth Butcher skated hard for the entire practice. He has missed 11 games since suffering a broken foot March 7.

"Medically, he's clear and sound," trainer Mike Folga said. "Now it's just a matter of conditioning and getting his movements down on the ice. He's ready whenever Brian wants to use him." The only player not skating Wednesday was center Craig Janney, who arrived after practice for Sutter's pre-playoffs team meeting. "He has some aches and pains," Sutter said, "so we just sat him out." He also sat out Janney for much of the second period against Chicago, with Ron Sutter centering wingers Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan.

"Craig was sucking wind a little bit." Lack of conditioning was said to be one reason the Boston Bruins gave up on Janney and traded him to the Blues, where he has played exceptionally. Sutter, though, did not give Janney the day off Wednesday to soothe his aches and pains. "He was doing off-ice conditioning," Folga said. Fans and reporters were buzzing about rookie Nelson Emerson's winning goal against Chicago. Emerson the puck half the length of the ice then eluded mobile defenseman Frantisek Kucera with a 360-degree spin.

After coming full circle In the slot, Emerson banged the puck off a skate and past goalie Ed Belfour. That move conjured visions of Denis Savard, but Emerson quickly did another 360 away from that comparison. "I'd like to be as creative as I can," said Emerson, a natural center who is playing wing. "But in games sometimes, if you screw up you find yourself on the bench. A lot of times, the simple play Is the best play." Emerson played at Bowling Green during rookie Denny Felsner's first two years at Michigan.

The teams were powers in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, but the new Blues teammates rarely played head to head. "He got shadowed," Felsner said. "That's the guy we tried to kill. I never saw too much of him on the A Nothing Game? For 'Hawks, Yes; Not For The Blues By Tom Wheatley Of the Post-Dispatch Staff A meaningless game? To the Chicago Blackhawks, yes. With their standing set, they are treating this poststrike, preplayoff week like the opening of training camp.

To the Blues, no. They treated their 5-3 victory Tuesday night at The Arena like a turf war, setting the tone for their upcoming playoff series against the Blackhawks, which opens Saturday in Chicago. To the fans, a loud no. A crowd of 16,181 showed up, including 123 standees. The 2,015 no-shows included Chicago fans who bought tickets for the originally scheduled weekend game, but could not attend the makeup game on a weeknight The Blues end the regular season here Thursday against Minnesota, then open the playoffs Saturday in Chicago.

"It was a confidence booster," Blues coach Brian Sutter said. "It was important, eh, to get some momentum," Blues center Bob Bassen said. "We used it as a game just to get ready for Saturday," said Nelson Emerson, who scored the winning goaL "But it's playoff hockey. And it's Important that we played well for the fans. "We've had a lot of ups and valleys to the season, lot of controversy.

We stuck with it, and they stuck with it. You look around the league after the strike, and a lot of fans haven't been showing up. I think our fans know why we were striking, and I think they supported us." Some Blues, like interim captain Brett Hull, downplayed the significance of a game that had no tangible effect on the course of NHL evolution. "It's not that big a deal," said Hull, who scored his 69th goal of the season. "It's just another game to get warmed up for the playoffs.

All Blues-Chicago games are "Take it any way you want. I've been off forever with a back injury and the strike, and everyone else has been off for 10 days. I'd have rather jumped into the playoffs right away. The season's long enough. What do we have to play these games for?" Maybe for morale.

This victory left the Blues with a 3-4-1 record in the season series with Chicago. Along with Emerson and Hull, Brendan Shanahan, Rich Sutter and Bret Hedican also scored for the Blues. The Blues trailed three times in the game, but each time came back to tie. Then Emerson gave the Blues their first lead, early in the third period on dazzling individual play. He gained control of a loose puck at center ice, dashed down the right wing, put a spin move on defenseman Frantisek Kucera in the slot and banked a shot off a skate and past goalie Ed Belfour.

Hedican's goal, his first in the NHL, was an empty-rietter with 24 seconds left. Chicago, meanwhile, got two goals from defenseman Steve Smith and another from hands-of-stone enforcer Stu Grimson. "I thought the guys' minds were definitely on Saturday's game," Smith said. "We took it a little lightly." The Blues, with speedy rookies Emerson, Hedican and Denny Felsner in the lineup, skated away from their usual bump-and-grind style. More precisely, they had less grind but plenty of bump.

But before the Blues could start rattling their sabers, the Blackhawks already had a 1-0 lead. Just 11 seconds into the game, Smith beat goalie Guy Hebert from the left point. Brent Sutter had won the draw in the left circle from Craig Janney. The Blues do not keep records on the fastest goal against them from the start of a game. This one was quick enough to be devastating, but the Blues wasted little time shaking the cobwebs out.

They took four penalties in the next 2 12 minutes. The 'Hawks, playing without suspended Mike Peluso (who has 408 penalty minutes), got into the swing of things quickly enough themselves. By the end of the first period, referee Rob Shick had called 13 penalties totaling 42 minutes and seven power plays. The Blues had four power plays in the first 20 minutes and the Blackhawks three including a two-man advantage for 81 seconds. But neither team scored with the manpower advangtages.

Things were slightly more rational after that, until late in the game. Smith and Stephan Quintal punctuated the evening with a spirited scrap with just 15 seconds to play, while Chicago's Chris Chelios drew a game misconduct. "That's typical of our games with them," Rich Sutter said. "I was kind of happy it was. To be honest with you, I felt great out there." Brian Sutter gave No.

1 goalie Curtis Joseph and veteran defenseman Curt Giles the night off. Otherwise, the Blues treated their 79th game of the season like the first game of an eight-game playoff series. "If that's their approach, that's fine with us if indeed that's true," Chicago coach Mike Keenan said before the game. "Everyone approaches this week a little differently." Keenan's approach was geared to conditioning after ihe players two-week layoff. On Sunday morning, before their first game back from the strike, Keenan skated his players hard for an hour.

On Monday he held two practices, starting at Chicago Stadium and then moving to a local university rink when the Stadium ice had to be covered for a Bulls basketball game. The Blackhawks did not fly to St. Louis until Tuesday morning, then skated for a hard 45 minutes instead of the usually placid day-of-the game skate. After a day off today, Keenan planned two more practices Thursday In preparation for the playoff opener Saturday in Chicago. Tuesday's game was the season finale for Chicago, which finished second In the Norris with 87 points.

The 'Hawks are six points ahead of the Blues. 122 Korupsi 122 122 Radiant Sky 122 122 Wilding 122 Live HUP BoldLibertin Charles NitOt 19:40.
