“Every night it should be fun to go out there and work your tail off and compete,” Stars captain Jamie Benn said. Robertson’s goal, a rebound off John Klingberg’s shot with 7:49 left in the third, got the Stars back within one. “It’s nice when it comes with your native language.” “Just communicating where we’re going,” Tarasenko said. Tarasenko continues to click with his linemates Buchnevich and Barbashev, fellow Russians. Tarasenko made it 2-0 with 10 seconds left in the second, finding a bouncing puck in the high slot and converting on a quick wrist shot. “Our power play got out worked, simple as that.”īrown broke the scoreless tie at the 3:35 mark of the second period, banking in the rebound of Colton Parayko’s slapshot between Holtby’s pads to give the Blues a 1-0 lead. “Our power play had three opportunities to get us that goal to get us in the game and they got outworked,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. Buchnevich hit the post on a backhand attempt.
The Stars went 0 for 3 on the power play and nearly gave up a short-handed tally as Buchnevich was awarded a penalty shot during Dallas’ third period man advantage. I think our forwards are doing a good job getting out on ‘D’ and not allowing shots to get through to the net.” “And then secondly, I think that we’re just harder around our net. “Our ‘D’ are really tight on people right now and again, they’re physical, and they’re breaking plays up and there’s not as many pucks coming in our end, that’s one thing,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. Dallas has scored three times in its last four games. Jason Robertson scored and Braden Holtby made 30 saves for the Stars, who lost their fifth straight game.
