Ben Bishop bounces back, Roope Hintz scores twice in Stars’ victory

Ben Bishop made 32 saves, Roope Hintz scored twice and the visiting Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Saturday in Game 2 to even the Western Conference semifinal series.

Miro Heiskanen and Mattias Janmark also scored for the Stars.

Jaden Schwartz and Colton Parayko scored for St. Louis, and Jordan Binnington made 31 saves. The Blues had won three straight.

Bishop bounced back after allowing three goals on 20 shots in a 3-2 loss in Game 1 on Thursday night.

Dallas scored three times in the opening 14:51 before Bishop took over.

Bishop grew up in St. Louis and often attended Blues games. He recalled chanting Blackhawks goalie Ed Belfour’s name as a teenager in the stands. St. Louis fans did the same thing to Bishop on Saturday, screaming his name to try and throw him off his game.

“It’s pretty crazy,” Bishop said. “I was that kid screaming Belfour’s name and then you’re on the ice and they’re screaming your name. Never in a million years when I was watching playoff games as a kid here did I think that I’d be in the net playing against the Blues. Obviously, it’s kind of cool.”
