Casey DeSmith secures second shutout as Stars defeat Blues 2-0

The Dallas Stars secured a 2-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, thanks to Casey DeSmith's impressive 33-save shutout, marking his second of the season. Evgenii Dadonov contributed with a goal and an assist, while Esa Lindell scored on a power play, enhancing the Stars' recent success on the road, where they celebrated their seventh win in nine games. Dadonov opened the scoring early in the first period, and Lindell doubled the lead shortly after with a one-timer from Roope Hintz. Despite some near misses from the Blues, including a shot off the post by Mathieu Joseph, St. Louis failed to find the back of the net, falling to a record of 3-7-1 against Central Division opponents. The Stars have shown notable improvement after a shaky start to the season, while the Blues are looking to regroup after the loss. Both teams have upcoming matches, with Dallas set to face the Golden Knights and St. Louis hosting Vancouver next.
