The Dallas Stars needed a big performance from goaltender Ben Bishop to maintain their position in the playoff race, and they got one.
Bishop made 38 saves, and Dallas blanked Calgary 2-0 on Tuesday night for his 24th career shutout and fifth this season.
“Ben was great, and he did an outstanding job,” Stars coach Ken Hitchcock said. “Held us together and it’s two points.”
Those points allowed the Stars to remain in the first Western Conference wild card spot and prevented Calgary, which sits just outside the second wild card position, from moving ahead of them.
