DALLAS (KMOX) - St. Louis not only beat Dallas on the ice last night, but also out-classed them in the stands thanks to St. Louis native and current Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott who was in attendance for Monday night's playoff hockey game. 

The Stars lost the game to the St. Louis Blues 4-3 thanks to a goal from another St. Louis kid, Pat Maroon in the finals minutes of Game 3. 

A young fan was hit with a puck that flew over the glass and it happened just a few feet from where Elliott was sitting. So Zeke – who was clearly having a blast at the game – turned the moment from being unforgettably bad to a unforgettably positive one:

Although it did hurt to see St. Louis' favorite football player wearing the oppositions colors, we know he had to put on a good face for the local Dallas fans.
