If there’s one thing the Dallas Stars learned on Thursday night as they opened their second-round series in St. Louis, it’s that this series could very well go the distance.
The Stars dropped a 3-2 decision to the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 and dug themselves a 1-0 hole in the series. They dominated the first few minutes of the game, but gave up a goal to Robby Fabbri on the Blues’ first shot of the game. Following that, Dallas spent the rest of the game trying to play catchup, but fell victim to some perfectly-timed counterattacks by Vladimir Tarasenko.
