BACKES (AGAIN) PLAYS OVERTIME HERO AS BLUES EVEN SERIES
The Stars erased a 3-1 deficit in the third period, but David Backes (1-1—2) scored at 10:58 of overtime to help the Blues even their Second Round series at 1-1.
* Backes, who celebrated his 32nd birthday, recorded his second overtime goal of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs (also Game 1 of FR vs. CHI). He became just the second player in Blues history to score multiple overtime goals in one postseason, joining Pierre Turgeon (2 in 1999).
* The Blues improved to 11-6 in 17 all-time overtime playoff games against the Stars/North Stars, including a 3-4 record on the road.
