NHL Playoffs: What channel is Stars vs. Blues Game 2 on?

Here’s where you can watch the Dallas Stars and the St. Louis Blues face off for Game 2 today, Sunday, May 1 at 3:00 PM ET. 

The Stars dominated the rink in Game 1 on Friday, ultimately winning 2-1. The score remain knotted through the third period until Dallas rookie Radek Faksa scored the go-ahead goal on a rebound with 4:44 remaining in regulation. Faksa, along with linemates Antoine Roussel and Alex Hemsky maintained possession and played the greatest role in the Stars’ first victory of the round.With Tyler Seguin out of the playoffs for at least another two games, according to most recent injury reports, and forward patrick Eaves out with a foot injury sustained in Game 1, the Stars need reliance on other lines to produce.

Kari Lehtonen resumed his position in the rink about playing four of the six games in round one, making 31 saves throughout the three periods. Improving his record to 4-1 with a 2.01 goals-against average this postseason, the 12-year veteran in goal has shown increased stability in the Dallas net, an area that the top-seeded Central Division team has constantly revealed as its Achilles heel.

Dallas’ victory over a defense-first team raises the team’s confidence going into the second game, in which St. Louis will no doubt look to boost its offensive power. The Blues outhit Chicago 283-206 in the first round of the playoffs but only made 17 shots in Game 1 compared to the Stars’ 31. St. Louis will need to refocus its strategy in front lines, predominately by getting the team’s top-scorer Vladimir Tarasenko back on the high he’d developed against the Blackhawks.

The Blues will look to even the score against the Dallas Stars this afternoon at 3:00 PM ET at the American Airlines Center. The game will be aired on NBC.
