In St Louis, the Blues were flattened on Saturday afternoon, 4-2, by the Dallas Stars.
Roope Hintz struck twice for Dallas who evened the series a game apiece.
“I enjoy those games,” Hintz said. “I think those are the most fun to play.” 
Ben Bishop got the win and is now 11-3 in his post season career in the game after a loss.
Bishop made 32 saves to rebound from the Game 1 cluncker.
“I do a pretty good job of not carrying the luggage with me,” Bishop said. “I’ve been pulled, I’ve given up six (goals). It happens. That’s the cool thing about playoffs. Every game is a new game and you don’t carry on that from the last game. You can have good ones, you can have bad ones. There is obviously a bigger spotlight on the bad ones and everybody else wants to blow them up. But I’ve done a pretty good job of leaving them in the rearview mirror and getting ready for the next one.”
Miro Heiskanen and Mattias Janmark also scored for the Stars.
“Yeah, I knew he’s going to pass it,” Heiskanen said. “I just drive to the net and it was great pass by Roope.”
Colton Parayko and Jaden Schwartz scored for the Blues.
“They took advantage of some opportunities they had there,” Schwartz, said. “Our puck play wasn’t as good, wasn’t as sharp as it usually is. They took advantage and executed on their opportunities. We did a good job climbing back, but that’s a lapse we can’t have.”
Hintz’s second goal was an empty-netter with three second left on the clcok.

Jordan Binnington made 31 saves in the loss.
“We’ve got to make a better puck decision in the neutral zone and then back our defense up on the play,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “A few mistakes on that. … We made a couple mistakes and they capitalized.”
