David Backes and the St. Louis Blues look ready to make a push for the playoffs the way they came out of the Olympic break. The same can’t be said for the Dallas Stars.

The Blues look to win their season-high fifth straight Thursday night when they try to hand the Stars a second straight loss.

St. Louis (29-25-9) and Dallas (28-22-12) are both out of playoff position but took hope out of strong finishes before the Olympics. The Blues won three straight while the Stars were 3-0-1 in their last four.

The extended time off didn’t hurt St. Louis in maintaining its win streak with a 5-2 victory at Phoenix on Tuesday. Backes, a member of Team USA in Vancouver, had a goal and an assist.
The Blues had 10 players on the scoresheet, with Paul Kariya, Alexander Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo each having a pair of assists.While the Blues picked up where they left off, the Stars turned in a listless effort in a 5-1 home loss to Los Angeles on Tuesday. Mike Ribeiro’s power-play goal in the third period was all the Stars mustered after falling behind 4-0.It looked like Marty Turco’s momentum was gone after he allowed all five goals on 22 shots. Turco, who is in the last year of his contract and might not be re-signed, was 4-1-1 with a 1.15 goals-against average in his last six games before the break.
