Last-minute heroics give Blues 2-1 win over Stars

ST. LOUIS — In a stunning reversal of fortune in the final minute of the game, the Blues scored twice, first on a six-on-four situation, then on a conventional power play, as they somehow pulled out a 2-1 win over Dallas before a sellout crowd of 18,096 at Enterprise Center.

Just when it looked like the Blues run of 11 games without a regulation loss at home was going to come to an end, first Ryan O’Reilly and then Jordan Kyrou scored to instead give the team its 12th comeback win of the season. The 12-game home point streak ties for the third longest in franchise history.

The Blues’ fortunes changed with 1:59 to play when Jani Hakanpaa was called for hooking O’Reilly just as Jordan Binnington went to the bench for a sixth attacker. Blues coach Craig Berube decided to keep Binnington go on the bench and go with a six-on-four situation.
