Blues beat Stars on two late goals

Jordan Kyrou and Ryan O’Reilly scored power-play goals in the final minute, rallying the St. Louis Blues over the Dallas Stars 2-1 on Sunday.

Kyrou won it with 29 seconds left. O’Reilly tied it at 1-all with 47 seconds to go while the Blues had a 6-on-4 advantage.

It was the first time in franchise history the Blues scored twice in the last minute to win.

“It was definitely very fun to be a part of,” Kyrou said. “It doesn’t happen too often, coming back in the last minute.”

This was the 11th time in NHL history that a team has won in regulation after trailing by one in the last minute. Boston was the last team to do it, scoring twice to beat Florida 4-3 on March 7, 2019.

St. Louis extended its home ice point streak to 12 games, going 11-0-1 during the run. Jordan Binnington made 26 saves for the Blues.

Kyrou’s shot from a wide angle deflected off Dallas defenseman Jani Hakanpaa.

Jason Robertson scored a second-period goal for Dallas, which had a four-game winning streak snapped. He extended his point streak to seven games.

The Blues’ two goals came after Braden Holtby had stymied them for most of the contest. Holtby made 29 saves and came within a minute of his 36th career shutout.

St. Louis has outscored its opponents 49-21 during the 12-game run, which is the third longest in franchise history, tying the mark set from Jan. 6-Feb. 26, 2001.

“As a group, I thought we showed great resiliency,” O’Reilly said. “We’re finding ways to win games.”

St. Louis coach Craig Berube was overjoyed with the comeback.

“The first two periods there wasn’t a ton of energy, we weren’t winning the puck battles,” he said. “At the end, the guys did a good job of attacking the net. The guys did a good job responding.”

Dallas coach Rick Bowness twice slammed a stick against the boards behind the bench in frustration seconds after the end to the game.
