In what was a must-win for only one team to advance to the Western Conference Final, the Dallas Stars met the St. Louis Blues for one final matchup at the Enterprise Center.
Brett Ritchie was swapped in for Mattias Janmark, in a coach’s decision for a more physical approach, with Ritchie playing in only his third NHL playoff game since the 2016 run.
