DALLAS — Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves in Dallas’s first shutout since December, and the Stars beat the Islanders, 3-0, on Saturday night to maintain their hold on sole possession of first place in the Western Conference.
Lehtonen earned his second shutout of the season and the 34th of his career. Cody Eakin, Patrick Eaves and Ales Hemsky scored for a depleted Dallas offense.
Tyler Seguin, who has 33 goals for the Stars, is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after having surgery on Friday to repair a partly torn right Achilles’ tendon.
