Jake Oettinger earned his 17th career shutout as the Dallas Stars defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-0 on Monday night for their first victory of the season. The Sharks started the game without star center Macklin Celebrini, who was scratched due to a lower-body injury. Jamie Benn scored a goal and provided an assist for Dallas, while Miro Heiskanen, Joel Kiviranta, Jason Robertson, and Mikko Rantanen each netted a goal.
Heiskanen's backhand shot in the first period proved to be the game-winner. Yaroslav Askarov made 21 saves for the Sharks. Celebrini, who recently became San Jose's captain, participated in warm-ups but left the ice earlier than expected. Ty Dellandrea, a 20-year-old franchise player, made his season debut in Celebrini's absence.
Dellandrea assisted on Igor Chernyshov's overtime goal that secured a 2-0 victory for San Jose on Saturday. Celebrini signed a five-year, $94 million extension this summer. The Sharks will next host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, while the Stars will travel to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Thursday.
