NHL Game Summary - Dallas at Vancouver

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Kari Lehtonen turned away all 27 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season as Dallas shut down Vancouver, 2-0, at Rogers Arena.

Colton Sceviour and Antoine Roussel provided the offense for the Stars, who have won three of their last four.

Eddie Lack was the hard-luck loser for the Canucks, making 27 saves in his club's fifth consecutive defeat.

Sceviour put the Stars on the board just shy of the three-minute mark of the second. He carried the puck along the left wing during a 3-on-2 rush and slid a backhander across the crease which Lack couldn't sweep up with his glove before it headed into the net.

"We were controlling the first and beginning of the second, and I gave them momentum and it's a weak goal, what else can I say?" said Lack.

Lack was lifted for an extra skater with just over a minute to play but the hosts couldn't find an equalizer.

Roussel put the clincher into an empty cage with 26 seconds remaining, after blocking a Kevin Bieksa point shot, skating around him on the left wing and scoring untouched.

The best scoring chances in a scoreless opening 20 minutes came from the hosts. Radim Vrbata was robbed by Lehtonen on the doorstep on the game's first shift, then Chris Higgins missed an open net on a breakaway in the latter stages.

"He (Lehtonen) gave us a fighting chance in the first period to win a hockey game, and the second period we answered the bell by going after them pretty good," said Dallas coach Lindy Ruff.
