Wyatt Johnson played a key role in the game by scoring a goal and providing an assist, and Jake Oettinger secured his second season shutout by saving 17 shots, leading to a 3-0 win for the Dallas Stars against the Seattle Kraken. This victory marked their seventh consecutive win.
Contributions also came from Joe Pavelski and Roope Hintz who both found the back of the net, helping the Stars strengthen their lead in both the Central Division and the Western Conference Standings. They are now only a single point behind the New York Rangers in the competition for the Presidents' Trophy.
Oettinger's outstanding goalkeeping was highlighted once again in this match. This shutout was his ninth in his career and improved his season record to 30 wins, 13 losses, and 4 overtime losses.
The Kraken, who had been on a two-game winning streak, faced a setback with this loss. Goalie Joey Daccord stopped 27 shots for Seattle, which has yet to win a home game on a Saturday.
Johnson's goal late in the second period broke the deadlock, putting Dallas in the lead. Pavelski widened the gap with a goal early in the third period during a power play.
With an empty net goal close to the final buzzer, Hintz confirmed the victory for Dallas.
Looking ahead, Dallas is set to play against Edmonton on Wednesday, and the Kraken will make a trip to San Jose on Monday.
