Dallas Stars beat writer & show host at DLLS.
Mavrik Bourque up top on PP2 with Thomas Harley in the bumper, and Harley makes it happen on his own rebound after a deflection on Bourque's shot.

I could get on board with this version of Mavrik Bourque.

Second time in as many games Dallas has blown a three-goal third-period lead. Where you at Jason Robertson and Thomas Harley?

Wow, that's such a good pass by Sam Steel, Jamie Benn just unable to get enough on it on the 2-on-1. But then Benn makes up for it with a nice little backhand saucer, and Mavrik Bourque goes down to a knee and BLASTS his second one-timer past Hill from the right circle.

That's called a tic-tac-toe forecheck. What a play, and what a finish by Mavrik Bourque. I have really liked this trio together.

Yeesh. Miro Heiskanen's D-to-D rim attempt bounces right into the slot. 1-1.

I think Theodore got a piece of that, but that rush is exactly what Hryckowian brings to this line. Hard to the net and nearly cashed in another elite Rantanen pass.

I could be wrong, but that rush looks like a defenseman (Nils Lundkvist) still thinking man on man from last season. He evacuated the slot, chased a forward to the corner, and Schenn was left all alone on the backside with not enough forward help back. 3-2.

The ol' "leave the entire box on the penalty kill open" from the Blues there. Great pass by Robertson, but I think just about anybody could've found that lane to Hintz on the backside. Stars PP is back.

Lol Mikko Rantanen's passing is flat-out absurd. Matt Duchene is hot on the PP. Both good signs.

SUCH a good recovery by Capobianco there. Snuggerud won the race, poked the puck around Capobianco, but he was able to retreat, read the play, and get into the right spot to intercept a centering pass.

Nearly flawless PK for Dallas. Stacked up the blue line on entries, and when STL did get in the zone, the Stars forced them to the wall and quickly won possession and sent it down.

What a great defensive play by Sam Steel to save a goal in the slot. And what an intriguing holding call on Nils Lundkvist to even things out PP wise.

Rantanen's shot looked like it hit off the skinny part of Binnington's paddle over the blocker.

Ilya Lyubushkin will not return tonight, per Stars PR (lower body). As @roberttiffin shared, Lyubushkin blocked a shot early in the second and didn't take shifts after the midway point.

Nothing like a 1-0 shutout loss when the only goal came less than midway through the first period. Ruff.

Yes, that is Justin Hryckowian out there 6-on-5 trailing by a goal. And he came oh so close to tying the game. Just off the crossbar after a lethal pass through the box.

The Jackets are NOT playing like the teams that used to do this, I know... But watching a Rick Bowness coached team defend a 1-0 lead late in the third is pretty nostalgic.

LOL Miro Heiskanen to Esa Lindell 5 feet away from him for a high tip. Love to see it. Nathan Bastian was also all over it on that shift.

I wasn't sure if Jason Robertson was actually faster or if he just looked it. Turns out... He is faster. Here are his top 5 skating bursts from this season vs last. It's noticeable, specifically the way he separates from forecheckers or through the neutral zone.

What a puck battle by Mavrik Bourque to keep possession and allow Jason Robertson to get on the ice for a change. The lanky wraparound was classic Robertson. 21 has been excellent tonight.

That tic-tac-toe is exactly why this team doesn't create a ton of shots on goal. Because they are capable of doing that when they put a few passes together. What a power-play goal.
