Defenseman Tyler Tucker scored for the Blues,
and goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped 33 of 34 shots. Brayden
Schenn had St. Louis' only successful attempt in the shootout,
with Jordan Kyrou's failed attempt ending the tiebreaker.
The Stars outshot the Blues 10-6 in a scoreless first period,
but St. Louis earned a few good scoring chances. Robert Thomas
got a snap shot off left wing on a three-on-one rush and Justin
Faulk fired a shot from the slot off a three-on-two rush, but
Oettinger turned away both.
Dallas believed it took a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal with
12 seconds left in the first period, when Mason Marchment
deflected Wyatt Johnston's shot from the left faceoff dot.
However, the Blues successfully challenged the goal for an
offside violation to keep the game at 0-0.
Benn scored 18 seconds into the second period when he came out
from behind the net to convert a stuff shot.
Tucker tied the game 1-1 just 2:19 later by scoring from the
high slot off Jakub Vrana's back pass.
Both goaltenders made big saves to keep the game tied after two
periods. Binnington slid to the left to deny Joe Pavelski from
five feet out, and Oettinger denied Oskar Sundqvist on a
two-on-one short-handed rush.
Dallas controlled most of the third period but failed to break
the tie. The Stars' best chance came when defenseman Nils
Lundkvist hit the inside of the right post while moving in from
right wing with 7:36 left.
The Stars also controlled the overtime, too, but Binnington
stopped Robertson's shot from the left circle, Miro Heiskanen's
clean break-in and Robertson's shot off a two-on-one rush to
force the shootout.
