LAS VEGAS — Goaltender Jake Oettinger posted his third shutout, and the Dallas Stars defeated the Golden Knights 4-0 on Monday in coach Pete DeBoer’s return to T-Mobile Arena.
DeBoer coached the Knights for 2½ seasons before being fired in May. He was hired by the Stars in June.
Left wing Jamie Benn, right wing Joel Kiviranta, defenseman Ryan Suter and center Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas.
The Knights lost for the third time in four games and were shut out for the first time. The Stars passed them for the second-most points in the Western Conference.
