Stars shutout Blues 4-0, Janmark scores second goal of preseason

Kari Lehtonen made 21 saves and the Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 4-0 in a preseason game on Saturday.

Dan Hamhuis, Jason Spezza, Remi Elie, and Mattias Janmark scored as Dallas improved to 2-1-0 in the preseason, with both of the wins coming against the Blues.

Dallas outshot St. Louis 38-21 and dominated the pace of the game.

Not really sure if this #stlblues lineup tonight looks a step slow or the #stars look two steps faster. Probably both.
