SEATTLE (AP) — Matt Duchene and Wyatt Johnston scored early in the first, and Casey DeSmith made 35 saves as the Dallas Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 3-1 on Monday night.
Mikael Granlund added an empty-net goal with 1:07 remaining.
Kaapo Kakko scored Seattle’s only goal 1:02 into the first period to set a new career-high in points with 41. Philipp Grubauer made 28 saves in his first start since March 19.
Dallas has won six straight games. DeSmith has won eight of his last nine starts.
Takeaways
Stars: Dallas took care of business in back-to-back games in Seattle, improving to a 10-1-1 all-time record against the Kraken.
Kraken: Seattle struggled to finish offensively against a playoff team despite putting up six goals against the Oilers on Thursday.
Key moment
Just 1:32 after Kakko opened the scoring, Duchene deflected a shot from Mason Marchment past Grubauer. Johnston extended his goal streak to five games when he scored his fourth game-winning goal of the season 45 seconds later, a new career high.
Key stat
Dallas’ penalty kill went a perfect 3 for 3 after going 4 for 4 against the Kraken on Saturday night. Seattle ends the season series having never scored a power-play goal against the Stars.
Up next
The Stars host Nashville on Thursday. The Kraken begin a five-game road trip Wednesday in Vancouver.
