STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

WESTERN CONFERENCE SECOND ROUND, GAME 1 (BEST-OF-SEVEN)

ST. LOUIS 3, DALLAS 2 (STL LEADS 1-0): Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice, including a second period power play goal, while Dallas took 17 shots in the third period, but couldn’t get an equalizer as the St. Louis Blues took Game 1 of their best-of-seven Western Conference second round series 3-2 Thursday night at Enterprise Center.

The Blues got on the board first at 5:57 of the first period, when Robby Fabbri broke in alone and beat former St. Louis goalie Ben Bishop for his first postseason goal in three years to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead. It stayed that way, thanks to some stellar goaltending by Jordan Binnington, until 10:25 of the second, when Jason Spezza scored his first goal since Feb. 24 against Chicago, off a John Klingberg pass to tie the game at 1-1.

Tarasenko struck eight seconds into a power play with Jamie Benn off, scoring between Bishop’s legs at 18:03 to give the Blues a 2-1 lead. It was the first power play goal allowed by Dallas in this year’s playoffs.

Tarasenko scored what proved to be the winner at 3:51 of the third, bearing in on Bishop, a St. Louis native, and putting a high shot into the roof of the net to give the Blues a 3-1 lead. Dallas came back later in the period, and got a power play goal from Benn with 2:17 left in regulation. Benn almost got the equalizer in the final seconds, but missed connections with the puck as time ran out, giving the Blues the win.

Binnington had 27 saves in the game for St. Louis, while Bishop made 17 stops for the Stars.

Game 2 in the series will be played Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Enterprise Center, then the series moves to American Airlines Center in Dallas for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
