NHL roundup: Jake Oettinger posts shutout as Stars squash Sharks 5-0
The Dallas Stars secured their first victory of the NHL season with a convincing 5-0 win against the San Jose Sharks on Monday. Star goaltender Jake Oettinger played a pivotal role in the shutout, stopping 14 shots and securing his 17th career shutout. The Sharks were without their star center, Macklin Celebrini, who was scratched due to a lower-body injury.
Jamie Benn scored a goal and provided an assist for the Stars, while Miro Heiskanen, Joel Kiviranta, Jason Robertson, and Mikko Rantanen added to their tally. Heiskanen's goal on a backhand shot with just 1:09 remaining in the first period proved to be the game-winner. Yaroslav Askarov made 21 saves for the Sharks.
