\"JamieJamie Benn (via Getty Images) The Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues 5-4 in a last-minute goal by Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn on Wednesday night. With only 23 seconds left in the game, Jamie Benn scored his second goal of the night, thus ending the St. Louis Blues\u2019 late-game surge.This is the Dallas Stars\u2019 sixth consecutive win, as they are undoubtedly one of the hottest teams in the NHL<\/a>. The team has made a statement with their performance, and this win is no exception, as they overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period to win their seventh game in the last eight.<\/p>\n

Jamie Benn\u2019s clutch goal highlights Dallas Stars\u2019 resilience before Olympic break<\/p>\n

Jamie Benn\u2019s game-winner came off a perfectly timed cross-ice pass from Miro Heiskanen, as the Stars captain fired a shot from the right face-off circle past a diving Jordan Binnington. The goal capped off a back-and-forth affair that challenged the defensive system of the Dallas Stars but also highlighted their depth on offense.Jamie Benn ended the night with two goals and an assist, while Jason Robertson and Matt Duchene each chipped in with a goal and an assist. Heiskanen dished out two assists, while Jake Oettinger made 14 saves to calm the Stars\u2019 nerves when they needed it most. Dallas is now 34-14-9 and heads into the international break with confidence and momentum on their side. The Blues had some moments of scoring skill, thanks to the work of Jordan Kyrou and Snuggerud, who both had a goal and an assist. Justin Faulk also chipped in with two assists, but the Blues\u2019 woes on defense proved to be costly once again. Binnington had 23 saves, although the late-game collapse spoiled his effort.For the Stars, the win further solidified the idea of progress and unfinished business. While the third-period collapse is a concern, the Stars find a way to close out games, which is a hallmark of a playoff contender. For the Blues, the loss further exacerbated their problems, as they came into the break with only one win in their last nine games.As the NHL takes its Olympic break, Dallas is in mid-season form, while St. Louis is searching for answers after another agonizing late-game collapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Benn (via Getty Images) The Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues 5-4 in a last-minute goal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5120],"tags":[71,147,5,19880,424,3733,54272,423,4,30278,534,84,5285,5284,54273],"class_list":["post-447029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-louis-blues","tag-blues","tag-dallas-stars","tag-hockey","tag-hockey-highlights","tag-jake-oettinger","tag-jamie-benn","tag-last-minute-goal","tag-miro-heiskanen","tag-nhl","tag-olympic-break","tag-st-louis","tag-st-louis-blues","tag-stlouis","tag-stlouisblues","tag-third-period-comeback"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116018275906922781","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
