DENVER — To notch their biggest win of the season, the Stars leaned on what they knew: a strong power play and a stalwart performance by Jake Oettinger in goal.
The combination led to a 4-1 Stars win over the league-leading Avalanche on Tuesday night, as Dallas became the first team this season to beat Colorado twice in regulation. The Stars win also snapped Colorado’s 19-game point streak and its 22-game home point streak. Colorado’s last home loss in regulation was almost four months ago on Oct. 26.
Oettinger made a career-high 46 saves, including 14 in the first period and nine on the power play, to lead the Stars. Joe Pavelski scored twice on the power play and Jason Robertson scored his fifth goal in the last five games. Tyler Seguin sealed the game with an empty-net goal with 1:23 remaining.
