Blues 4, Stars 3 (OT)
Vladimir Tarasenko completed his first career hat trick with a one-timer from the top of the right faceoff circle during a power play at 1:28 of overtime as visiting St. Louis edged Dallas.
Jori Lehtera recorded a goal and two assists, defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk set up a pair of tallies and Tarasenko added an assist for the Blues, who never led in the contest. Brian Elliott turned aside 25 shots in posting his fourth straight win over Dallas.
Tyler Seguin and defenseman Trevor Daley each notched a goal and an assist while blue-liner Jamie Oleksiak netted his first career tally for the Stars, who had their three-game winning streak versus the Blues come to an end. Kari Lehtonen finished with 23 saves for Dallas, which has allowed 22 goals over its last five games.
St. Louis fell behind twice but responded in quick fashion both times. Tarasenko beat Lehtonen high to the stick side from the top of the slot at 13:45 of the first period, just 35 seconds after Oleksiak's blast from the right point deflected off Patrik Berglund's stick and sailed past Elliott.
Seguin scored from the right faceoff dot off a feed from the corner by Jason Spezza at 5:28 of the second, but Lehtera evened it 37 seconds later as his backhander from the inner edge of the right circle glanced off Stars defenseman Jordie Benn's stick and beat Elliott. Daley gave Dallas its third lead during a power play 3:27 into the third, but Tarasenko erased it by netting his second of the night with 8:23 remaining.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Daley pulled even with Anaheim's Corey Perry and Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin for the league lead with his fourth power-play goal of the season. ... Lehtera nearly gave St. Louis its first lead with less than five minutes left in the third but rang his shot off the post. ... Half of the Blues' 10 goals on the road this season have come on the power play.
