The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Dallas Stars 2-1 in a shootout to end a three-game losing streak.
The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Dallas Stars 2-1 in a shootout on Saturday at PPG Paints Arena, snapping a three-game losing streak. The win came after the Penguins lost a shootout to the Columbus Blue Jackets the previous evening, 3-2. Shootout goals from forwards Ben Kindel, Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell ensured the victory.
Goaltender Arturs Silovs recorded the win, making 24 saves on 25 shots in regulation and overtime before allowing two goals on four attempts in the shootout. Coach Dan Muse said the team was prepared following the previous night's loss. 'You come off of (Friday) night's game and it's the first one of the season for us and there's no crystal ball. You don't know when the next one's going to come. But I thought it was good by the guys, just being ready for it and just finding a way to get that other point,' he said.
The Penguins controlled the game defensively, holding the Stars to far fewer chances than the Blue Jackets had generated the previous night. Silovs said the disciplined approach was effective. 'It's maybe not as exciting hockey. But we managed to stick with a plan. Didn't bend,' he said.
