Like Seguin, Benn has 12 points in the last nine games, including six in the last four. The difference was 27-12 after two periods. But I digress, here is the recap.
The goal, Steen’s 12th of the season, was the Blues’ eighth on the man advantage in nine games. The 30-year-old Ontario native owns a 5-3-0 career record versus Dallas, although his 3.09 goals-against average leaves a bit to be desired. Thankfully the team held serve and killed it easily, which was their high point tonight.
Dallas Stars’ Patrick Eaves, bottom right, and St. Louis Blues’ Carl Gunnarsson, of Sweden, lay on the ice after colliding with goalie Jake Allen during the second period of an NHL hockey game Saturday, Dec. 26, 2015, in St. Louis.
“If they call penalties both ways then yeah, for sure (Benn) did (cross-check)”, Bouwmeester said, “but I mean one ref tonight”. Benn put in his nomination for Best Actor in a Drama and while it didn’t draw them a 5 on 3 it did motivate the Stars for the rest of the game.
The Blues had two chances to win it, in the fifth and seventh rounds, but each time the Stars got the tying goal to extend the shootout to the next round before goalie Jake Allen finally made a save on a shot by center Vernon Fiddler after Backes’ goal to win it.
“The one that really hurt us was the second (Dallas) goal”, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said.
Immediately after the puck was dropped, Antoine Roussel and Troy Brouwer dropped the mitts. When you get down the ladder there you just can’t be afraid because there is a lot of pressure on the shooter and you can’t be afraid of the moment.
And right after that, Travis Moen and Robert Bortuzzo fought as well, and Moen dragged him to the ground. The Stars are 5 for 14 on the power play in that time. With 3:01 remaining in the opening frame, Elliott made a spectacular diving save at the far post on a wrist shot by Stars defenseman Jordie Benn from the right circle. Stars 2, Blues 0. “You don’t shoot the puck like that, snap it like that, get it away like that”.
David Krejci scored the lone Bruins goal but left the game at the end of the second period with an undisclosed injury.
In suffering its second straight loss, the Blackhawks avoided its second shutout in a row and what would have been its fourth of the season had it not been for Brent Seabrook’s sixth goal of the season with three seconds left in the game.
The story of this game was how good the defense looked against Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, another great duo in the league.
Jamie Benn, as usual, showed the true definition of a captain, and anchored his team to a much-needed win. On their second power play, the Blues borke through. That hoped quickly died though when the Stars kept the Blues to the outside and didn’t allow but a single shot.
John Klingberg has risen to the elite level regarding defensemen in the National Hockey League.
With 24.1 seconds to go in the period, Jason Demers upended Fabbri in the neutral zone and was called for interference, giving the Blues a power play that carried over into the third period.
