“[Shutouts] seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer these days in the League,” Bishop said. “The guys did a great job. Some big blocked shots there and a couple opportunities where they had some backdoor opportunities, and the guys did a great job picking up their guys, so it’s a team effort.”
On a night goalie scoring, Bishop added an assist.
Roope Hintz struck for a goal and two points on the night.
“One or two goals and it’s the hockey game,” the Ducks Ryan Getzlaf said. “I’m not disappointed with the effort. We made a couple of mistakes that ended up in our net. We have to find ways to score goals. It’s a tough League to do it in. We have to find a way here.”
Denis Gurianov and Alexander Radulov potted power play goals in the win.
“It’s nice and it’s been fun to win, but you can’t take your foot off the pedal in this League,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. “It’s too tight. The standings are just too tight and you can’t relax, and we won’t.”

John Gibson made 24 saves in the loss.
“We just have to play better,” Ducks head coach Dallas Eakins said. “This League is extremely tight. I think tonight is a great example of that, and when you have chances to score, they have to go in the net.”
