SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Dallas Stars secured their fourth consecutive victory Saturday night, edging the Utah Mammoth 3-2 in a tightly contested matchup. The Stars' special teams made the difference early, with defenseman Thomas Harley and forward Wyatt Johnston each netting a power-play goal in the first period to establish a lead Dallas would not relinquish.

Goaltender Jake Oettinger was stellar in net, turning aside 28 shots to backstop the win. The Mammoth mounted consistent pressure throughout the final two periods, but the Stars' defensive structure held firm, limiting high-danger chances. A third-period push from Utah made for a tense finish, yet Dallas managed the game effectively to close out the road victory.

The win strengthens Dallas's position in the competitive Central Division standings as they continue a crucial road stretch. Team officials highlighted the disciplined play and timely scoring as key factors in the current winning streak. The Mammoth, meanwhile, saw a two-game home win streak snapped despite a valiant effort. Both teams prepare for their next contests as the regular season's final weeks approach.
