Dallas Stars Triumph Over St. Louis Blues
In a thrilling matchup on Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars edged out the St. Louis Blues with a final score of 4-3, thanks to Thomas Harley’s decisive goal scored just over a minute before the game concluded. This victory marks the Stars’ third win in their last four outings, demonstrating their strong performance in recent matches against St. Louis, where they have now secured 10 wins out of 13 encounters since late November 2022.
Key Moments of the Game
The Stars took the lead early in the second period when Matt Duchene netted a power-play goal, breaking the deadlock just 3:20 into the period. Continuing the momentum, Duchene scored again just 40 seconds later, capitalizing on a deflection that found its way into the net off Blues defenseman Logan Mailloux, who was engaged in a battle with Jamie Benn.
Roope Hintz further extended Dallas’s lead with another power-play goal, making the score 3-0 late in the second period, marking the 15th instance this season where the team scored multiple goals while on the power play.
Blues’ Comeback Efforts
St. Louis, however, refused to back down. The Blues mounted a comeback in the third period, with Robby Fabbri scoring just over three minutes in. This goal marked Fabbri’s first since January 28, 2025, when he played for the Anaheim Ducks. Brayden Schenn then scored twice, first making it 3-2 in the third period and subsequently tying the game with just over four minutes left on the clock, achieving his second multigoal game of the season.
Injuries and Final Moments
Amid the drama, the Blues faced some challenges, losing forwards Jake Neighbours and Jordan Kyrou to injuries during the game. In the end, however, it was Thomas Harley’s late-game heroics that sealed the victory for the Stars. Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger turned aside 23 shots, while his counterpart Jordan Binnington made 20 saves in a disappointing fifth straight loss for St. Louis, who will look to turn their fortunes around when they host Florida on Thursday.
