By Vancouver Television Sports Desk

CHICAGO — Arttu Hyry scored two goals for his first multi-goal NHL game, and the Dallas Stars shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Saturday at United Center.

Jake Oettinger made 19 saves to earn his third shutout of the season as the Stars improved to 4-3-1. Dallas also extended a winning stretch by earning its second straight victory and posting a 4-1-1 record over its past six games.

Jason Robertson opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 4:58 of the second period, giving Dallas a 1-0 lead. He finished the play from the bottom of the left face-off circle after receiving a short return pass from Mikko Rantanen.

Hyry doubled Dallas’ advantage to 2-0 at 14:10 of the second period. He took a pass from Sam Steel and capped a 2-on-1 rush with a wrist shot from the right circle.

The Stars pushed further ahead in the third period when Hyry scored his second goal of the game at 1:27. He received a stretch pass from Nils Lundkvist, advanced into the left circle, and beat Spencer Knight with a backhand that went over the glove.

Roope Hintz completed the scoring at 9:40 of the third period, burying a wrist shot under the crossbar from the left face-off dot to set the final 4-0 score.

Spencer Knight made 28 saves for the Blackhawks, who dropped to 3-6-0. Chicago had entered the game having won two straight, but was held scoreless by the Stars’ defensive effort and goaltending.

With the result, the Stars continued to build momentum in the early part of the season, while Dallas’ win tightened its recent form and handed Chicago another setback after its own brief surge.
