The St. Louis Blues hoped to close out a disappointing road trip with a strong performance in Dallas against the Stars. While they sort of accomplished that, the end result was no different.
The opening stages of the game seemed destined for disaster. The Blues didn't even get a shot on goal until there was less than nine minutes left in the period.
Additionally, they put the second-best power play in the league on the ice early in the game. Jordan Binnington made the initial save, but there was nobody even close to take the man or play the puck as Wyatt Johnston cashed in on the rebound to make it 1-0.
