Stars Achieve Third Consecutive Victory with Dadonov and Benn Leading Dallas Over Utah

Monday, December 2nd, 2024

During the Monday night game, the Dallas Stars defeated the Utah Hockey Club with a score of 2-1, marking their third consecutive win. Dallas' scores were made by Evgeni Dadonov and Jamie Benn, while Utah's sole goal was scored by Nick Schmaltz.

Casey DeSmith delivered an outstanding performance in the Stars' goal with 34 saves, playing a crucial role in their victory. On the other hand, Karel Vejmelka recorded 19 saves for Utah despite their defeat.

Both Dadonov and Benn found the net in the second period, establishing a lead for Dallas. Schmaltz attempted to revive Utah's chances with a goal in the third period, but it wasn't sufficient to surpass Dallas' initial advantage.

Mikhail Sergachev of Utah achieved a notable milestone by playing in his 500th career game.

This victory moved Dallas up to third place in the Central Division, while Utah's lack of consistency persisted, preventing them from securing back-to-back wins since the season began.

A significant moment occurred when DeSmith expertly redirected a loose puck using his shoulder pad, exemplifying his exceptional performance.

Statistics indicate that Utah struggles when conceding the first goal, with a 2-8-1 record, whereas Dallas excels when scoring first, holding a record of 12-2-0.

Looking ahead, the Stars are set to travel to Los Angeles on Wednesday, while Utah will make their way to Buffalo on Saturday for their upcoming games.
