Dadonov scores 2 goals, including penalty shot, as Stars beat Bruins 7-2

DALLAS (AP) — Evgenii Dadonov scored two goals, including the NHL’s first successful penalty shot this season, and the Dallas Stars beat the Boston Bruins 7-2 on Thursday night.

Matt Duchene, Roope Hintz, Mason Marchment and rookies Logan Stankoven and Oskar Back also scored for the Stars, who continued their offensive momentum after a 7-1 win at Pittsburgh on Monday.

Dadonov gave Dallas a 2-0 lead at 6:36 of the first period after being hampered on a breakaway by Mason Lohrei. Five previous NHL penalty shots have not produced a goal.

Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who split two games on a Central Division road trip.

Dallas’ Jake Oettinger made 23 saves and Boston’s Jeremy Swayman stopped 31 shots.

Marchment had a goal and an assist after a five-point game in Pittsburgh.

It was Back’s first NHL goal. He also had an assist.

Takeaways

Bruins: They tied for last in the NHL with an 11.8% power play, and they went 0 for 2 with the man advantage.

Stars: The trio of Duchene, Marchment and Tyler Seguin have collected five goals and 13 points in the last two games.

Key moment

Stankoven’s rebound at 14:15 of the second gave Dallas a two-goal lead again and was followed by Back’s one-handed shot less than two minutes later.

Key statistic

The Stars are 7-0-0 at home for the first time in the franchise’s 57 seasons, the first 26 as the Minnesota North Stars. They lost as designated host to the Florida Panthers in both Global Series games in Finland in early November.

To be continued

On Saturday, the Bruins will host the St. Louis Blues and the Stars will visit the Minnesota Wild.
