In St Louis, the Blues scored twice in the final minute of the third period to erase 0-1 deficit on Sunday afternoon and give them a a 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars. 
Ryan O’Reilly and Jordan Kyrou scored power-play goals in the final 47 seconds of the frame.
“Honestly, I was trying to pass to ‘Tommer’ there backdoor, and I just got a lucky bounce and it went in,” Kyrou said. “That was definitely really fun to be a part of. Doesn’t happen too often when you come back last couple minutes. It was pretty electric out there. It was fun. It was a great win by us too.”
Jordan Binnington made 26 saves in the improbable win for the Blues.
“The first two periods I thought there wasn’t a ton of energy,” Blues head coach Craig Berube said. “We weren’t winning enough puck battles. I thought they did a good job of clogging things up, being tight on us, not giving us any room. But we didn’t want to compete through that. We kind of allowed it to happen more than anything.
“We needed to get on our toes and start skating and start winning puck battles and doing things right. Guys did a good job responding. I thought we had a real good third period going. We took the penalty late, killed it off. Special teams were really good tonight [and] that’s the difference in the game.”
St Louis improved to 21-10-5.
“It was mayhem. … It was a little bit chaotic,” O’Reilly said. “But I thought we had a good third period. We had some good chances, and it took us right down to the wire to tie the game up, but yeah, there was pucks and bodies everywhere and obviously, we get a good bounce and in the back of the net to tie it up. Yeah, it was good.”
Jason Robertson was the lone goal scorer for the Stars.
“It definitely wasn’t the result we wanted, but I think [Stars coach Rick Bowness] told us that was almost a perfect road game for us,” Robertson said. “We had a bunch of chances and we tried to limit their chances. It’s just hockey at the end of the game.”
Dallas dropped to for the Stars 17-13-2.
“It’s frustrating and it (stinks),” Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen said. “I thought we played really well, and they tied it. It (stinks).
“I think we played really well today and that’s what we need to keep doing. It’s frustrating, but I think it was a good game by us.”
Braden Holtby made 29 saves in the loss.
