St. Louis at Dallas

This is the third road game in four contests for the Blues - all emotional and exhausting battles. St. Louis is a defensive-first team, #15 in the NHL in goals scored. They didn't get enough goals in Game 1 in a 2-1 defeat. They allowed 42 shots on net to the younger, faster Stars, who also outhit the Blues 32-26. The pressure is tightening again on St. Louis, who have now lost seven straight Conference Semifinals games. Meanwhile, Dallas is on a 35-16 run at home, ranked number one in the league in goals scored, and fourth on the power play. Dallas rookie center Radek Faksa scored the winning goal off a rebound with 4:44 to play and had an assist on the Stars' other goal in a 2-1 victory. Dallas is on an 11-3 run, plus 23-9 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Take Dallas in Game 2.
