Blues grab 2 late goals to defeat Stars
ST LOUIS: Jordan Kyrou scored a power-play goal with 28 seconds left to lift the St Louis Blues over the Dallas Stars 2-1 on Sunday.
Blues centre 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.
At Anaheim, Trevor Zegras and Rickard Rakell scored in the shoot-out as the Ducks edged the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3.
Anaheim goalie Lukas Dostal was a winner in his first NHL start, stopping 33 of 36 shots. Dostal collected three saves in overtime as Detroit kept the puck for most of five minutes. Anaheim caught a break when Pius Suter rang a goalpost less than two minutes in.
Thomas Griess made 24 saves for the Red Wings, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from dropping their fourth game in five outings. Detroit did not score during the shoot-out.
The game was rescheduled from Thursday night, when it was postponed due to Covid-19 issues among the Ducks’ roster.
Anaheim took a 3-2 lead on Max Comtois’ first goal of the season at 2:01 of the third period off a perfect centring feed from Rakell. But Detroit tied the game at 7:55 minutes when Vladislav Namestnikov deflected Jordan Oesterle’s point shot past Dostal for his 10th tally of the season.
