The Dallas Stars went into the Roger Arena to face the struggling Vancouver Canucks as they shut them out 2-0.

Colton Sceviour and Antoine Roussel had the goals for the Stars.

The Stars had tremendous goaltending from Lehtonen as he kept the Stars in the game. He made a glove save on Radim Vrbata to keep the Stars from going down 1-0 in the first period. He kept the Stars in re game as a turnover from Trevor Daley caused a scoring chance for Alex Burrows but Lehtonen came out to save it with his glove side to keep it scoreless. Then while the Stars were on the power play, a turnover from the Stars caused another scoring chance for the Canucks as Chris Higgins went on a breakaway but Lehtonen once again was quick with his pads this time.

Then in the second period, Kari Lehtonen made a save from his glove after a Jykri Jokipakka turnover on Jannik Hansen. After the save by Lehtonen, the Stars took a 1-0 Lear over the Canucks as Colton Sceviour scored off the

rush to backhand the puck past Eddie Lack’s glove for a 1-0 lead with 17:07 left in the second period.

It was all Kari Lehtonen in the third period as the Stars kept a hold of the 1-0 lead. Antoine Roussel sealed the deal with an empty netter goal to put the Stars up 2-0 with 26 seconds left in the third period.
