The Dallas Stars took care of the Coyotes sightings in Dallas tonight and the residents could return to their usual Saturday night activities. The Stars got off to a quick start tonight and the rest was history. The Stars would go on to shut out the Coyotes 4-0 as they get their third shutout in four games. Ironically each of those shutouts ended up being 4-0. Stars fans should go buy a lottery ticket after last night’s win. Here are the three takeaways of the game for the Stars against the Coyotes.

Jake Oettinger was on one tonight and deserved the huge chant that echoed throughout the crowd. With Oettinger earning his fourth shutout of the season last night, he takes over second place in the league for shutout wins with four. Jake Oettinger also moves into second place for save percentage as well with a .926 save percentage. It’s a crying shame that our goaltender will not be attending the All-Star game in Florida for his hard work.
