St. Louis walked out of Dallas with a 4-0 win in regulation, built on an early lead and finished off with two goals in the 58th minute. The Blues scored in all three periods and never trailed.
Mason McTavish opened it in the second minute off a Jimmy Snuggerud feed, and Dallas spent the rest of the night chasing. Dalibor Dvorsky made it 0-2 in the 34th minute with Pius Suter assisting, and the game broke open late: Snuggerud scored unassisted at 58 minutes, then Suter converted moments later, with Joel Hofer credited for the assist.
Snuggerud finished with a goal and an assist, Suter with the same line, and the 58th-minute pair turned a manageable deficit into a four-goal margin. Hofer's assist on the final goal underlines the night at the other end: Dallas never solved the Blues' goaltender.
