Matt Duchene scores in OT to give Stars 2-1 win over Blues

DALLAS (AP) Matt Duchene scored at 2:31 of overtime on an end-to-end rush from near his own goal line and the Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 2-1 on Saturday night.

Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist for the Stars, and Jake Oettinger stopped 15 shots to improve to 11-1-0 at American Airlines Center.

Jordan Kyrou gave the Blues a 1-0 lead in the first period and Jordan Binnington finished with 35 saves.

Duchene leads Dallas with 13 goals and four game-winners.

Robertson, Dallas’ top scorer during the past two seasons, has scored twice within three games for the first time since late October.

Kyrou, who leads the Blues with 12 goals and 26 points, has goals in three consecutive games and five in the last six games.

Robert Thomas had the primary assist on Thomas’ goal and has a six-game point streak for 11 points (three goals, eight assists).

Blues: With defenseman Nick Leddy out injured since late October, St. Louis acquired Cam Fowler from Anaheim on Saturday. Fowler played 17:57 with one block. Veteran forward Brandon Saad, with no goals in his last 13 games, was a healthy scratch.

Stars: This was their first win in seven games this season when trailing after one period.

About 20 seconds before Duchene’s winner, Oettinger stopped Pavel Buchnevich on a backhand stuff attempt by extending his left skate to the post.

Binnington kept the Blues in the game in the second period, allowing only one power-play goal on three Stars opportunities. Dallas outshot St. Louis in the period 14-3.

Blues host the New York Rangers on Sunday, and Stars host Washington on Monday.
