Blues center Ryan O'Reilly tied the game with 46 seconds left on
a 6-on-4 power play with goaltender Jordan Binnington pulled for
an extra attacker. The Stars took a penalty on that scoring
play, giving Kyrou the chance to win the game with another man
advantage.
Binnington made 26 saves for the Blues, who extended their
home-ice point streak to 12 games at 11-0-1.
Jason Robertston scored and Braden Holtby made 29 saves for the
Stars, whose four-game winning streak was snapped.
Robertson extended his point streak to seven games. He has four
goals and six assists during that span.
The Blues outshot the Stars 10-7 in the tight-checking first
period. The Stars picked up their offensive pace in the second
period, outshooting the Blues 12-5 while taking a 1-0 lead.
Miro Heiskanen cut through the right circle and slid a cross-ice
pass to Robertson, who scored a sharp-angle goal at 9:16 of the
period.
Shortly after that, Jamie Benn nearly doubled the Stars' lead
from the left doorstep, but Binnington denied him. Michael Raffl
had a 2-on-1 shorthanded rush, but Binnington stopped his blast
from the right wing.
After the Stars just missed on several power-play chances early
in the third period, Holtby stopped Brayden Schenn breaking down
the middle unchecked.
The Blues stepped up their pressure, but Holtby stopped Robert
Thomas' follow shot with a left skate save, made saves on two
Torey Krug slap shots and stopped Kyrou's break-in from the
right wing.
The Blues finally broke through at 6-on-4 when the puck caromed
off the end boards to O'Reilly, who was standing squarely in
front of the net.
Then another lucky bounce decided the game. Kyrou attempted to
center the puck from the left side, but the puck caromed off
Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa and into the net.
