SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Wyatt Johnson had a goal and an assist, Jake Oettinger stopped 17 shots for his second shutout of the season and the Dallas Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 3-0 on Saturday night for their seventh straight win.<\/p>\n
Joe Pavelski and Roope Hintz also scored to help the Stars remain on top of the Central Division and Western Conference Standings, three points up on Colorado. Dallas, which clinched its third straight playoff berth with win over Vancouver two nights earlier, trails the New York Rangers by one point in the race for the Presidents\u2019 Trophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to be playing well right now and winning games,\u201d Pavelski said. \u201cAnd you have to string them together. You can win a bunch of games and it feels like you make up no ground. The focus is just keep winning \u2014 keep doing it the right way and keep building our game toward the playoffs and make sure we\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oettinger got his ninth career shutout and improved to 30-13-4 on the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been awesome,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt gives you a lot of confidence when he\u2019s playing like that. He\u2019s been huge. He\u2019s been huge all year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joey Daccord finished with 27 saves for the Kraken, who had won two straight after eight consecutive losses. Seattle will finish the regular season as the only NHL team winless at home on Saturdays. <\/p>\n
