ST. LOUIS -- Moments after the puck squeezed through the smallest of holes, through the sliver of questionably available space between Blues goaltender Jake Allen and the goalpost, the stick snapped. It was Tyler Seguin who’d beat Allen for his second goal of the night, and the maligned St. Louis netminder responded by whacking his stick against the frame.
The scene unfolded in the second period of the Stars’ 3-1 win over the Blues on Tuesday night, and was reminiscent of Sunday in Winnipeg, when Stars goaltender Ben Bishop snapped his stick after a late goal. Only for Seguin this season, it hadn’t been commonplace.
