Blues Shut Out Stars 4-0 in Frisco

A Clean Sheet to Start

St. Louis began its campaign with a flawless performance, shutting out the Dallas Stars 4-0 at the American Airlines Center on Friday, October 2, 2026. The visiting Blues controlled the pace from the opening faceoff, leaving the home team with zero goals and zero points in the standings after just one game.

The contest was decided before the crowd of 18,532 could settle in. Just moments into the first period, Mason McTavish found the back of the net for his first goal of the season. His snap shot beat the Dallas defense, assisted by Colton Parayko and Jimmy Snuggerud. The early strike set the tone for a game where St. Louis never trailed.

Dallas struggled to generate offense in the middle frame, unable to answer the Blues’ physical play. In the second period, Dalibor Dvorsky doubled the lead with his own first career goal. Utilizing a snap shot similar to McTavish’s earlier effort, Dvorsky capitalized on a setup from Philip Broberg and Pius Suter.

The 2-0 advantage gave St. Louis control of the game’s momentum heading into the final twenty minutes.

Closing Out the Shutout

The third period saw St. Louis extend its lead further while maintaining defensive discipline. Jimmy Snuggerud marked his first goal with a wrist shot, standing alone on the assist sheet for the play. The Blues did not stop there; shortly after, Pius Suter added another tally with a wrist shot of his own.

Connor McMichael and goaltender Joel Hofer earned assists on the goal, highlighting the depth of the team’s contribution.
