ST. LOUIS — Thanks to the Blues’ comeback win on Saturday night against Florida, they came into their game Monday with a one-game winning streak instead of a three-game losing streak.
The Blues couldn’t follow up Saturday’s miracle third-period comeback with any level of effectiveness, serving up a disjointed effort against Central Division-leading Dallas that ended with a 4-1 loss to the Stars at Enterprise Center.
The Blues pulled within a goal in the third period and were threatening to make another comeback but a shot by Niko Mikkola was blocked, springing Dallas’ Jason Robertson on a breakaway for a shot that got past goalie Jordan Binnington. The Blues then pulled Binnington for a sixth attacker, and not long after Binnington got to the bench a shot by Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen from his own end rattled into the empty net.
