Evgenii Dadonov starred with a goal and an assist as the Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-0. Casey DeSmith contributed with 33 saves, marking his second shutout of the season. Esa Lindell scored on a power play, adding to the Stars' impressive performance, which included their seventh win in nine road games. Dadonov's goal came after St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington lost his stick, while Lindell's goal followed a well-executed one-timer from Roope Hintz. The Blues struggled offensively, hitting the post twice and managing just 17 shots on goal against a solid Dallas defense.
The Stars' recent surge is notable given their earlier struggles on the road this season, where they lost eight of their first twelve games. Currently, they are poised for a rematch against the Vegas Golden Knights, while the Blues aim to regroup against the Vancouver Canucks.
