Christian Post Report – The St. Louis Blues celebrate after scoring a goal.
The Central Division rivals have met three times so far, and are scheduled to meet a total of five times in the regular season.
St. Louis won the first match in Dallas, with Vladimir Tarasenko scoring the winning goal in the game that went to overtime.
It was an exciting back-and-forth battle, with Jamie Oleksiak opening the scoring in the 14th minute from a powerful slapshot.
The Blues recovered quickly after Tarasenko scored only after 35 seconds of conceding.
In the second period, Tyler Seguin restored the Stars’ lead – only to be levelled again by the Blues after Jori Lehtera scored a beautiful backhand after 37 seconds.
The final period brought the same intensity as Trevor Daley wristed a shot into the net after four minutes from the restart, but again Tarasenko needed less than 10 minutes to score his second – and send the game into overtime.
It was there where the Russian secured his hat-trick after a Power Play Goal, giving the Blues the extra point.
However, in the next two meetings, Dallas got their revenge as they won 3-4 and 1-4 in Missouri to set up an interesting clash back in Texas.
March has been a tough month for Dallas in terms of injuries as they lost Daley and John Klingberg to knocks, with the former expecting to return early April after a knee injury. Klingberg is listed as day-to-day after an upper body injury this week.
Since losing Kevin Shattenkirk and Zbynek Michalek in February, the Blues have been relatively injury-free in March. Hopefully they get back Shattenkirk early April.
