ST. LOUIS -- Another failed attempt to finish off a series means another Game 7 for the St. Louis Blues. The Dallas Stars clung desperately to an early lead to escape St. Louis with a 3-2 win and force a Game 7 on Wednesday in Dallas.
How it happened: The Stars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, chasing goalie Brian Elliott in the process and then hung on for their lives.
Dallas struck fast.
Mattias Janmark opened the scoring and 20 seconds later Vernon Fiddler scored his first goal of playoffs, sucking the life out of a building that was anticipating an elimination.
