St. Louis went 4-0-0 this week with wins against the Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks and Stars. St. Louis tied Dallas for first place in the Central Division, three points ahead of the Blackhawks, who hold a game in hand on each.
"It's a great week, played great, scored a lot of goals and had a lot of threats to score too," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Like I said, this is a week if you'd said we were going to go 4-0, I think everybody wouldn't have been shocked, so we're really happy, happy for the guys."
Jason Spezza had two goals for Dallas (41-20-9). Cody Eakin and Jamie Benn scored, and Alex Goligoski, Kris Russell and Tyler Seguin each had two assists.
Benn tied it 4-4 with 1:12 remaining in the third period, redirecting Seguin's wrist shot during a 6-on-4 power play after Niemi went to the bench with 2:04 remaining. Dallas went on the power play with 3:08 remaining when Fabbri was called for holding.
"It was huge [to come back and win in overtime]," Shattenkirk said. "It's sad to say we've been doing that a lot lately, so I think we're getting used to it. It's not something we want to get comfortable with, giving away leads like that."
