Back-checking is evidently overrated.
With six Dallas Stars skaters unlawfully transitioning into the St. Louis zone, sniper Vladimir Tarasenko's curious decision to not exit the opponents' half paid off in a major way for the home side.
That's Jaden Schwartz who gobbled up the turnover and fed Tarasenko, who had all the time in the world to spot an opening in Kari Lehtonen's protection.
Amazingly, the sixth Stars skater didn't join the rush - he was defending in his own zone.
