Stars Shut Out Sabres 2-0 as Benn Scores His 1,000th NHL Point
DALLAS, Texas — The Dallas Stars defeated the Buffalo Sabres 2-0 on Saturday night, November 14, at American Airlines Center, as captain Jamie Benn recorded the 1,000th point of his NHL career.
Benn scored the opening goal at 16:23 of the second period for his 1,000th point. He is the 104th player in NHL history, and the 13th active player, to reach the milestone, and the second player in franchise history after Hall of Famer Mike Modano, who recorded 1,359 points. Benn is also the 53rd player to register 1,000 career points with a single franchise. The entire Stars bench emptied onto the ice to celebrate with him.
Wyatt Johnston scored on the power play at 19:18 of the third period for the 2-0 final. Jake Oettinger made 22 saves for his league-leading fourth shutout of the season and the 20th of his career, two days after he was pulled having allowed six goals against the Winnipeg Jets.
Alex Lyon made 28 saves for Buffalo. The Sabres went 0-for-5 on the power play and are winless in four games at 8-8-4. Dallas improved to 11-6-2 and completed a season sweep of Buffalo with two shutouts, having won 4-0 on the road on October 8.
