NHL Playoffs: Stars vs. Blues Game 7 live stream: Watch online
The Dallas Stars welcome the St. Louis Blues to the American Airlines Center for Game 7 tonight at 8:00 PM ET.
The Stars came out strong in their must-win game against St. Louis on Monday, winning 3-2 after scoring two goals 20 seconds apart at the start of the first. The team was strengthened by a 35-save performance from goaltender Kari Lehtonen.
The winner of Game 7 will move on to the Western Conference Final, where they will face either the San Jose Sharks or the Nashville Predators. The winner of that series will be determined tomorrow night, May 12 at 9:00 PM ET.
Though Dallas does have home ice advantage in this final showdown, playing on home ice hasn’t made any real impact in this series. Both teams are 1-2 at home, despite the Stars boasting the second-best home record in the league this season.
Stars center Tyler Seguin (lower body) remains unable to take the ice for the game. Left wing Travis Moen is also out with a hand injury.
This will be the Blues’ second Game 7 in this year’s playoffs, having defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in the first round. St. Louis was at home for their first Game 7 win; this time around, they’ll have to defeat the Stars as the visiting team. The Blues are 4-2 on the road in this year’s playoffs, including 2-1 at American Airlines Center in this series.
Brian Elliott has started every game in the playoffs, but he was pulled with minutes remaining in the first period of Monday’s Game 6 defeat and replaced by Jake Allen. At this time, head coach Ken Hitchcock has yet to announce his starting goaltender tonight.
Wednesday will be the first Game 7 the Stars have played at American Airlines Center.
