The St. Louis Blues looked to rebound against the Dallas Stars after an absolute gong show against the Chicago Blackhawks. The last home game went awry early in the first period, but this time around was a different story.
In fact, this game opened much more like a mid-1990s New Jersey Devils game. It was logged up through the middle, and chances were mostly off mistakes instead of genuinely earned chances.
There were only a total of 12 shots in the first period, split evenly between each team. Jordan Binnington and Jake Ottinger both made a couple of key saves, but weren't given a large workload.
