Tyler Seguin led the early charge with two goals in the first period and Scott Wedgewood made 34 saves for his first shutout this season as the Stars defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-0.
LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 19: Scott Wedgewood #41 of the Dallas Stars protects the goal during the third period against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on January 19, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. One night after blowing a three-goal lead, Tyler Seguin and the Dallas Stars weren't going to let the same thing happen again.
The Stars, who moved into the Central Division lead with a Western Conference-best 61 points, had a 3-0 cushion Wednesday night at San Jose before the Sharks rallied with five unanswered goals. Dallas scored three times in the first period against the Kings and never backed off. "Yeah, it’s great. I know how to play with those guys and I have fun playing with them," Seguin said. "I know I’m just keeping Roope’s seat warm, but they’re great players and I’m able to find open spaces out there.""Obviously, they’ve been hot and they’ve been kind of steamrolling through the league the last month, month-plus. So for us to come in here after what happened last time and walk away with two points is big for us," he said.
"There’s no way that team down the hallway with the leaders and coach they have are going give up a three-goal lead in back-to-back games," Kings coach Todd McLellan said. "We created our own self-inflicted misery early and tried to find our game as the game wore on."
