Final
Mason, Blues look to rebound vs. Stars
Mar 10, 2009 - 1:37 PM Dallas (31-27-8) at St. Louis (29-28-8), 8:30 p.m. EDTST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- Goaltender Chris Mason and the St. Louis Blues look to get back to their winning ways when they host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
The Blues have dropped two of three since posting a three-game winning streak, and have suffered from several defensive lapses during their mild skid. After surrendering one goal in each of his previous five contests, Mason has surrendered 13 in the last three.
Mason has secured his place as St. Louis' top netminder by starting 21 straight games. He is 15-18-5 with a 2.50 goals-against average this season.
His prowess has helped the Blues crawl from to the bottom of the crowded Western Conference to playoff contention. They are within four points of Dallas, Nashville and Edmonton for the eighth and final spot in the playoff picture.
The Stars, who are coming off a 3-1 setback to the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday, lost their sixth straight contest at home to match a franchise record set in 1970 in Minnesota.
