Blues Pick Up Victory Over Stars, NHL Scores

Together, the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues were 0 for 11 on the power play headed into overtime.

Time to discuss strategy before the extra period helped the Blues finally end their 0-fer with a 2-1 win over the Stars on Tuesday night. They had 1:46 remaining at the faceoff.

"We get a free timeout, get to kind of collect ourselves and take a deep breath, and were able to make sure that we're focused on doing the right plays," said defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, who got the game-winner at 1:11 of overtime to end the Stars' four-game winning streak on Tuesday night.

"We're not going to get too individualistic and make sure we're all playing together."

Brian Elliott had another strong game in net for St. Louis, which has won four of five and tightened the Central Division race a bit. They're in third with 75 points, five points behind first-place Dallas.'

Jaden Schwartz got the other goal for the Blues on a fluke when a dump-in bounced off referee Kelly Sutherland's ankle at 12 seconds of the second period. The Blues have won five of six against the Central Division-leading Stars, who won in overtime at Nashville on Monday.
