The Stars rolled into St. Louis on Monday night coming off a 2-1 win on Friday night against Vancouver. The last time these two clubs met, earlier this month, the Stars came away with a 6-2 win.
The first period was what looked like a lot of back and forth but ultimately was a lot more shots and scoring chances for the Blues. Jamie Oleksiak, for reasons unknown at this time, joined the rush on several occasions, parking himself in front of the Blues net, while Cody Eakin took his spot at the point. After 20 minutes, that hasn’t resulted in a single shot on goal for the defenseman.
