CHICAGO (AP) --- Jake Oettinger made 19 saves for his NHL-leading third shutout
in six games, Arttu Hyry scored twice and the Dallas Stars beat the Chicago
Blackhawks 4-0 on Saturday night.
Jason Robertson scored and Roope Hintz also connected before he exited late in
the third period with a right hand injury. Dallas (4-3-1) won its second
straight to give Glen Gulutzan his 200th NHL coaching victory.
Oettinger had his 19th career shutout and lowered his goals-against average to
1.00. The 25-year-old Hyry had his first multi-goal game.
The Stars, who trimmed their NHL-best team goals average to 1.50, outshot the
Blackhawks 32-19 in this one and limited Chicago's chances.
Spencer Knight blocked 28 shots in his fourth straight start as the Blackhawks'
two-game winning streak ended.
Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram missed a second game with an upper-body
injury. Stars forward Wyatt Johnston returned after sitting out two games with
an illness.
Dallas dominated the scoreless first period, outshooting Chicago 12-5, but
Knight made several close-in saves.
An apparent goal by Robertson at 12:10 was disallowed after a video review
showed Hintz entered the Chicago zone offside.
Robertson opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 4:58 of the second on
the Stars' 14th shot. He fired over Knight's glove and into the upper right
corner of the net from a scrum and about 15 feet out.
Hyry upped it to 2-0 with 5:50 left in the the second when he completed a
2-on-1 break with Sam Steel by snapping off a high one-timer.
Knight stopped Hyry on a short-handed breakaway with 52.9 seconds left in the
second.
Hyry's second goal at 1:27 into the third made it 3-0. The Finnish forward
broke to the net, gained a step on defenseman Wyatt Kaiser and lofted in high
backhander.
Hintz connected from the left faceoff circle midway through the third to
complete the scoring. Oettinger made a point-blank save on Cole Smith with 6
minutes left.
Up next:
Stars: Host Boston on Tuesday night.
Blackhawks: Host Montreal on Friday night.
