The St. Louis Blues beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 for a 3-2 lead in their NHL second-round playoff series on Saturday.
Rookie playoff points leader Robby Fabbri had a goal and assist, and Dmitrij Jaskin’s first career playoff goal put the Blues ahead for good at 2-1 in the second period. Brian Elliott turned away a strong Dallas push in the third period, and St. Louis protected a 3-1 lead for a second straight road victory. The Blues surrendered the same lead before winning in overtime in Game 2 in Dallas.
Elliott had 27 saves to give the Blues a chance to wrap up the series in Game 6 at home on Monday.
Perhaps because of a rare start at noon local time, there were quite a few empty seats at the start of such a pivotal game, but the pace was brisk early in another physical game between teams that have scuffled frequently after whistles in a matchup of the top two Western Conference teams.
