DENVER - It's a good morning in Denver, where the Blues are waking up and finding themselves in first place in the Central Division thanks to Wednesday's convincing 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Scottrade Center.
Jaden Schwartz scored his third career hat trick Wednesday and ranks third in the League in points (11), trailing only Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos. Jake Allen made 22 saves - some of them of the jaw-dropping highlight-reel variety - to secure his fourth win of the season to help the Blues move one point ahead of the Blackhawks in the division standings.
