Dallas Stars Achieve 2,000th Franchise Win

The Dallas Stars defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 on Saturday, with Matt Duchene and Roope Hintz scoring pivotal third-period goals. Jake Oettinger made 27 saves, improving his season record to 11-3, while Anthony Cirelli netted both goals for Tampa Bay, extending his scoring streak to five games. The Lightning initially led 1-0 and 2-1, but Dallas equalized twice with goals from Evgenii Dadonov and Miro Heiskanen. The victory marked the 2,000th win in franchise history for the Stars, becoming the 10th NHL team to reach this milestone. Despite the loss, Tampa Bay's power play struggles continued, failing to convert on three opportunities. Dallas will next face Carolina, while the Lightning will host Colorado on Monday.
