Stars remain undefeated with a 3-2 shootout win over Sharks after trailing for 1st time this season

DALLAS -- - Wyatt Johnston made Dallas' third consecutive shot in a shootout, and the Stars remained undefeated with a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.

Oettinger had 25 saves in regulation and overtime. Sharks goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 36 of the Stars' season-high 38 shots.
