DAL@STL: Seguin scores second goal from tough angle

ST. LOUIS -- Tyler Seguin scored two goals and had an assist for the Dallas Stars in a 3-1 win against the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Tuesday.

John Klingberg had a goal and an assist, Alexander Radulov had two assists, and Ben Bishop made 26 saves for the Stars (23-17-4), who are 7-3-1 their past 11 despite scoring more than two goals in just three of those games.
"Keep going," Seguin said. "Not think about it. Keep that confidence and that fire and focusing on the process."

Bishop made the save on all 12 shots he faced in the third period.
"He got it for us in the third period," Dallas coach Jim Montgomery said. "Our goaltenders have been superb, and [Bishop] is our No. 1 and he's done a tremendous job for us all year long."
David Perron scored, and Jake Allen made 15 saves for the Blues (17-20-4), who were coming off a 3-0 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday but lost for the fourth time in six games.
St. Louis, which is the only NHL team that has not won the second game of a back-to-back (0-5-0), had a chance to generate momentum with two power plays in the first 5:31 but did not score on either of them.
"Power play, if you're not scoring, you've got to get momentum," Perron said. "I just thought in the third we didn't push hard enough down 3-1. It doesn't matter what happened, we've got to go and put everything out there. I know it's back-to-back, but it just felt like we should've just pushed way more. It's disappointing."

The Stars had a two-man advantage when Klingberg scored to make it 2-0 1:23 into the second period.
Dallas has scored a power-play goal in six straight games.
"We want our power play to keep climbing, so it's been good," Seguin said.
Seguin scored his second of the night to make it 3-0 at 6:12 of the second. It was his third two-goal game in the past four.
"I didn't want to talk about it, pucks hitting crossbars and all that stuff," Seguin said. "It's part of the game and I knew things were going to start going in. I didn't know when and I just wanted to keep shooting, and right now, they're going in."

It was the third goal allowed by Allen on 11 shots and seventh on 19 shots spanning two games.
Blues coach Craig Berube, who said he didn't consider pulling Allen in favor of Jordan Binnington after the 25-year-old rookie shut out the Flyers in his first NHL start, called a timeout, and Perron scored 23 seconds later to get St. Louis to within 3-1 at 6:35 of the second.
"Yeah, they responded and pushed," Berube said of the Blues. "I thought they pushed real hard until the end of the period."
Perron has four goals and seven assists in an NHL career-high eight-game point streak.
Seguin gave the Stars a 1-0 lead when he scored at 11:27 of the first period.
Seguin and Jamie Benn were harshly criticized by Stars CEO Jim Lites on Dec. 28. Seguin has at least one point in each game since then (six goals, four assists).
