Colorado’s most recent statement came Saturday night in Dallas, where a composed, defense-first effort produced a 2-0 shutout over the Stars. It wasn’t a high-event game, but it was controlled and efficient from start to finish. Scott Wedgewood stopped all 18 shots he faced, while Martin Nečas broke a scoreless tie late in the third period before Nathan MacKinnon added an empty-net goal—his league-leading 51st of the season.
