DENVER -- Consider this a step forward.
The Stars have been showing signs of getting their aggressive team game together in the past three games, but not getting results. On Saturday, the hard work was turned into a much-needed 3-0 win against the Colorado Avalanche.
Dallas received goals from the power play and the fourth line, and did a much better job of protecting goalie Kari Lehtonen, using the strategy that the best defense is a good offense. Lehtonen had to make just 23 saves to get his 35th career shutout.
The win halted a three-game losing streak for the Stars and evened their record at 10-10-6 (26 points).
