Benn's Late Goal Seals Stars' 6th Straight Win
5 Feb
Summary
- Jamie Benn scored the game-winner with 23 seconds left.
- Dallas Stars secured their sixth consecutive victory.
- The Stars overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period.
The Dallas Stars continued their dominant run with a thrilling 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night. Captain Jamie Benn scored his second goal of the game with a mere 23 seconds left on the clock, securing the Stars' sixth consecutive win and ending the Blues' late surge.
Dallas demonstrated resilience by overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period. Miro Heiskanen provided a crucial cross-ice pass for Benn's game-winner, which found the net past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington. The Stars' offense was boosted by multi-point efforts from Benn, Jason Robertson, and Matt Duchene.
Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 14 saves for Dallas, who now hold a 34-14-9 record. Despite scoring efforts from Jordan Kyrou and Snuggerud for the Blues, defensive struggles and Binnington's 23 saves ultimately weren't enough.
The win solidifies the Stars' status as a playoff contender as they head into the international break with significant momentum. In contrast, the Blues leave the break with only one win in their last nine games, facing questions about their defensive performance.
