The way Bishop was playing, it was going to take something extraordinary, perhaps something fluky to beat him. And that's what happened.
Blues forward Robert Thomas hit the post with a shot, and the puck then hit Bishop before settling in the crease, where forward Pat Maroon tapped it in for the game-winner at 5:50 of the second overtime.
"I think it went off the post and then it hit me in the back of the head and then it just laid there," Bishop said. "I don't know, I haven't seen the replay. But yeah, it hit the post and then the back of my head. I haven't seen how [Maroon] got a hold of it."
After Dallas forward Mats Zuccarello tied the game 1-1 at 15:50 of the first period, the Stars had four more shots on goal through the end of the third period: Tyler Seguin's slap shot 9:58 into the second period, Esa Lindell's wrist shot 1:15 into the third, Andrew Cogliano's wrist shot 14:42 into the third, and Jamie Benn's wrist shot with 15 seconds remaining in the third.
"We didn't get any speed in our puck game. We didn't create a lot," Stars defenseman John Klingberg said. "Obviously, they just kept coming, but I think we did a good job riding it out and got it to overtime."
The Blues outshot the Stars 31-4 in the second and third period.
"I mean, they were coming," Seguin said. "We didn't find a way to adjust, I guess. We were getting told things to adjust obviously, but we just didn't do anything and didn't grab the momentum."
