St. Louis at Dallas

The experienced St. Louis Blues have been playing the physical game in this postseason and it's been a huge asset, knocking off the defending champs in seven games and now tied with Dallas, 2-2. You need defense in a key fifth game and St. Louis is fourth in the NHL in goals allowed, second in penalty killing. They have an ace goalie in Brian Elliot and rookie Robby Fabbri was fearless in the opening series and was a major part of St. Louis' offense. They did a terrific job of shutting down Chicago stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, plus have held Dallas (the league's top-ranked offense) to 19 goals in nine meetings this season. Dallas is not a great defensive team, #19 in the league in goals allowed, and star offensive force Tyler Seguin (achilles) is still out. The Blues are on a 16-5 run on the road, plus 8-3 in the last 11 meetings with young Dallas. Play St. Louis in Game 5.
