NHL ROUNDUP Wednesday’s other games

Stars 3, Blue Jackets 2, SO

COLUMBUS — Jussi Jokinen scored in regulation and had the only shootout goal to give Dallas the victory over Columbus before the smallest crowd to watch an NHL game at Nationwide Arena. Jokinen, who tied it 1-1 early in the first period, was the second skater during the shootout. He beat Fredrik Norrena with a deke and a backhander. The crowd of 11,820 was the smallest announced attendance for a Blue Jackets regular season home game. The Stars forced overtime when Brenden Morrow converted a one-timer from the high slot with 1:11 remaining.

Blues 3, Blackhawks 1

CHICAGO — Keith Tkachuk had a goal and an assist, and Manny Legace stopped 28 shots to help the St. Louis Blues post their fourth straight win. Paul Kariya and Bryce Salvador also scored for the Blues (4-1-0), who got two assists from Brad Boyes. St. Louis, which entered 2-for-21 on the power play, converted two of three attempts against the Blackhawks. Jason Williams scored Chicago’s lone goal, a fluke power-play score that stood up to a video review. Nikolai Khabibulin made 23 saves for the Blackhawks (3-3).
