It was Halloween night at American Airlines Center, and the Stars certainly spooked the Capitals.
Dallas logged its first shutout of the season with a strong showing of defense and goaltending that left Washington without an answer. While it may not have been the most exciting game, it marks an important Stars win that came from doing the little things right.
“I think that was the most solid game from us this year,” defenseman Esa Lindell said. “Tight game on five on five and then special teams running for us today.”
A slow first period left both teams scoreless, even though both teams got power play chances.
