Seattle Kraken at Dallas Stars
· National Hockey LeagueSteel and Johnston 14 seconds apart, DeSmith has 25 saves as Stars beat Kraken 2-0
It was the second shutout in two nights for the Stars as No. 1 goalie Jake Oettinger blanked the New York Islanders on Saturday night.
Steel was alone at the back post to poke a cross-ice pass from Colin Blackwell behind Philipp Grubauer with 3:43 remaining in the first. Johnston snapped a wrister home stick side at 13 seconds later following a drop pass from Jamie Benn.
Grubauer finished with 21 saves.
Johnston, who led Dallas with 32 goals last year, has points in each of his first three games.
Dallas most recently had back-to-back shutouts late last season, 3-0 at Seattle on March 30 and 5-0 against Edmonton at home on April 3.
Stars: Playing nine games in their first 17 days because of an early November trip to Finland, Dallas is looking for significant early contributions from DeSmith.
DAL leads series 1-0
