St. Louis Blues vs Dallas Stars
St. Louis Blues vs Dallas Stars : The St. Louis Blues took on the Dallas Stars for the second game of their series. The Blues were hoping to go up by a 2-0 mark for the second time in a row.
The St. Louis Blues were trying to defeat the Dallas Stars for the second game in a row and put themselves up by a 2-0 mark in a series for the second straight series. They definitely did not get off to the kind of start they needed to accomplish that.
The Blues looked alright in the opening minutes of the game, but it just was not quite the same. The Blues had a few offensive chances early on, but mustered only one shot compared to the initial five on goal for the Stars.
Things evened out pretty well through the midpoint of the period. Then, it was some sloppy play that led to Dallas’ first goal of the afternoon.
The Blues turned it over at the blue line and then it fell apart after that. The Stars would double their lead after a two-on-one attack made Jordan Binnington look silly.
St. Louis would cut the lead in half with a seeing-eye shot not a minute after Dallas took a 2-0 lead. Unfortunately, the defense fell asleep and the Blues gave the goal right back.
The Dallas Stars are coming home tied with the St. Louis Blues in their second round playoff series.
The Stars evened the series at 1-1 with a 4-2 Game 2 win Saturday at Enterprise Center.
Game 3 is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday at American Airlines Center.
Goals by Roope Hintz and Miro Heiskanen gave the Stars a 2-0 lead with 6:21 left in the first period. Colton Parayko got the Blues on the board less than a minute later.
Dallas, however, regained a two-goal lead when Mattias Janmark 26 seconds late. Neither team scored in the second period. St. Louis outshot Dallas 24-17 in the first two periods.
The Blues pulled to within 3-2 with a controversial goal early in the third. The Stars challenged the goal scored by Jaden Schwartz for goalie interference but the call was upheld.
The Blues had a power play in the final 2:30 and pulled goalie Jordan Binnington in the final two minutes for an extra skater but the Dallas defense held them off. Hintz scored an empty netter in the closing seconds to make it 4-2.
Hintz’ three points are the most recorded by a Stars rookie in a playoff game.
The Dallas Stars have tied their second round series with the St. Louis Blues at a game apiece after a 4-2 win this afternoon. Roope Hintz had a pair of goals, and Ben Bishop did his thing en route to the victory.

3rd Period:
:03
Roope Hintz ends it with an empty netter from his own blue line.
1:00
The Stars have killed most of the penalty off. But....uh...
2:45
Hintz takes a penalty for flipping the puck over the glass. This isn't ideal, but on the bright side the Stars can now dump the puck down the ice with impunity for most of the remaining time. As bad as the Blues powerplay has been this might actually work out.
4:25
Bishop does the thing where he makes a big save then has an equipment issue. It works like a timeout whether anything was wrong or not.
5:36
The Stars powerplay ends with eight shots. Heiskanen shows off his ridiculous poise once again to shake off a defender prior to causing chaos in front of Binnington.
