The Blues' only goal came from Keith Tkachuk on the power play in the first period. Manny Legace made 18 saves.

Dallas made a big move just before the trade deadline, acquiring forward Brad Richards and goaltender Johan Holmqvist from the Tampa Bay Lightning for goaltender Mike Smith, forwards Jussi Jokinen and Jeff Halpern, and a fourth-round pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft.
