The Blues tied the game 1-1 with 7:04 left in the period. Dunn deftly kept the puck in the offensive end at the blue line, then went to the net.

Perron tried to pass to Dunn cutting to the left post, but the puck caromed off the stick of Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen into the net as he tried to break up the play.

Bozak's power-play goal 4:19 into the second period -- set up by Dunn's spinning backhand pass in front of the net -- put the Blues up 2-1.

The Blues pushed the lead to 3-1 about nine minutes later when Schenn converted a two-on-one break, burying a one-time shot from the right circle off O'Reilly's cross-ice feed.

With Khudobin pulled for an extra attacker, Klingberg's point shot tied the game.
