Shooting Stars

The Blues moved into a tie for first in the NHL with Monday's win over Dallas.

The Blues beat the Stars 1-0 Monday night at the Scotty. The win gave them 60 points, and put them in a tie with the Rangers and Blackhawks for first place in the entire NHL. It has been a dozen years since the Blues have been at that spot this late in the season.

Jaroslav Halak made 22 saves for his third shutout of the season. He is 9-0-3 in his last 12 starts.

At the start of the third, T.J. Oshie was placed on a line with David Backes and Perron. The move paid off late in the game, Oshie scored a highlight goal on a great feed from Perron.

That was all the tight-checking Blues would need. They are defining their game as a team that plays a tight checking, defensive game, but has the skill to score when need be.

The young stars are beginning to shine, and the sky is the limit for this first place team.
