NHL Playoffs: Stars vs. Blues Game 4 live stream: Watch online
Here is where you can find out how to watch Game 4 between the Dallas Stars and the St. Louis Blues tonight at 8:00 PM ET.
It’s still not clear which goalie will start in the net for the Stars tonight after a disastrous, embarrassing 6-1 defeat on Tuesday, May 3 in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series. Dallas netminders Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen have been overwhelmed, to say the least, but the St. Louis Blues so far. On Tuesday night, Antti Niemi started out in goal—his first start of the series—but was relieved by Lehtonen after allowing three goals in just 12 shots. Lehtonen didn’t do much better however: the Blues got in threemore goals by the end of the game.
The St. Louis Blues snagged a 2-1 series lead with Tuesday’s victory, which was won on home ice. The Blues hold their home ice advantage yet again for Game 4.
Alexander Steen and David Backes dominated the offensive front for the Blues, scoring two goals each throughout the game. Vladimir Tarasenko also had a goal and two assists , finally reviving his game after three quite contests. Troy Brouwer added a goal and assist as well.
It’s unfair, however, to blame the goalies for all of Dallas’ weaknesses: the entire team was falling apart on live TV on Tuesday. AHL recall Curtis McKenzie brawled with Blues’ Ryan Reaves and was sentenced to the penalty box for the closing minutes of regulation; Stephen Johns also received a penalty at the end of the game for boarding for a hit on Alex Pietrangelo with a check from behind. And while the defense has been sloppy, the offense—the series topping offense—has failed to live up to its reputation. No one has scored more than once for the Stars in the series, and the Stars were the league’s highest scoring team in the regular season.
The Stars will try to knot the series in an extremely crucial Game 4 tonight at 8:00 PM ET.
