Vasilevskiy Shuts Out Stars For Second Straight Game

The Dallas Stars have dropped below the .500 mark on their 2021 season, dropping to 6-7-4 after being shutout by the Tampa Bay Lightning for the second game in a row.

At even strength the Stars:

*Out-chanced the Lightning 25-14
*Had the advantage in high-danger scoring chances 13-4
*Had an expected goals for of 2.
