ST. LOUIS (AP) Dallas’ Cody Eakin scored at 2:58 of overtime to give the Stars a 3-2 win over St. Louis on Thursday, bouncing back from a blowout loss two days earlier to tie the NHL second-round playoff series at two games apiece.
Patrick Sharp set up the winner and also scored for the Stars, coming off a 6-1 loss in Game 3. Rookie Radek Faksa had the other goal.
Vladimir Tarasenko scored his sixth goal of the playoffs on a first-period breakaway and added an assist for St. Louis, giving him five points in the last two games. Paul Stastny also scored off a deflection from Tarasenko.
Game 5 is Saturday in Dallas.
Eakin has a goal and seven assists in the postseason. In the overtime winner, he beat Brian Elliott on a 3-on-2 break after the Blues pressured goalie Kari Lehtonen on the opposite end.
