Jamie Benn reached a major career milestone on November 15th, scoring his 1,000th NHL point late in the second period. This crucial goal lifted the Dallas Stars to a 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Benn joined Mike Modano as the only players in franchise history to achieve this feat.
Goaltender Jake Oettinger was outstanding, making 22 saves to record his fourth shutout of the season and the 20th of his career. The Stars' defense was strong, denying all five of the Sabres' power-play opportunities. Wyatt Johnston sealed the victory with a goal late in the third period.
