Home ice belongs to the Stars, but the visiting team has dominated so far.
"I have the benefit of the match at home," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "I don"t know if that"s going to make any difference in the game, though."
The Stars led 3-0 in the first period and held on for the third consecutive victory in the series by the visiting team and fourth overall.
"We"ve been able to put some good road games together, some simple road games together,"Bluesright wing Troy Brouwer said.
TheBlues, who finished only two points behind Dallas in the regular-season standings for the Western Conference"s top seed, are 4-2 on the road this postseason and have already played a seven-game series. St. Louis won its first-round clincher at home, when Brouwer scored the Game 7 winner against defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago.
"We obviously know the stage,"Bluesdefenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. "It"s going to be a little different now that we"re on the road, but I think overall, we know what the pressure is, we know what it"s going to be."
Brouwer is playing in his NHL-record eighth consecutive playoff series to go seven games. He also had Games 7s with Washington and Chicago the previous five seasons.
"Same mindset we had last series, going to take one more win to finish the series and it"s what we want to do," Brouwer said.
