Game Recap
After a scoreless opening period, Lundell put the Panthers on the board just 19 seconds into the middle frame. Lundell weaved through the defense and tucked the puck inside the post after pulling Oettinger out of the crease with a backhand deke.
Bennett doubled the Panthers’ lead on a Verhaeghe rebound that deflected off of Bennett, to his stick, and into the back of the net.
In the dying seconds of the period, Marchand scored a power-play goal with a one-timer from the right faceoff circle.
The Stars were applying extensive pressure with Oettinger on the bench in the final minutes of the game, but it was Marchand who eventually sank an empty-netter to seal the 4-0 victory.
The Panthers outshot the Stars 23-15 and went 1-for-2 on the power play, while the Stars went 0-for-3 with the man advantage.
