Stars Shut Out Jets, Oettinger's Third Shutout

0:00Dallas Stars shut out the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 Thursday night, with Jake Oedinger stopping 22 shots for his third clean sheet this season. Rookie R2 Hyry notched a goal in his first multi-point NHL game. Adam earned Tally to goal and assist, and Matt Dushane also lit the lamp to seal the win. This was a clash of team USA Olympic goalies, pitting Oedinger's backup role against Conor Helibike's gold medal starter for Winnipeg. The stars sit second in the Central Division, and overall league standings, kicking off a five-game homestand to wrap their home schedule. Fans are buzzing about Dallas finally leading after the first period for the first time in six games, boosting their record to 22 wins, four, losses, and three ties in those spots. Oedinger's first shut out since December 3rd comes after a shaky stretch, while Helibike last used Vizena Winner dropped to 20 wins, 21 losses, and 11 ties. Scoring kicked off midway through the first, with Dushane's powerplay bank shot, and Hyry's Tally just 89 seconds later then earned deflected, one early second.

1:09Despite injury sideline and key forwards, Dallas stressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen, sweeping the season series against Winnipeg for the first time since they moved from Atlanta in 2011.
