JAKE OETTINGER LOCKS IT DOWN! Stars Blank Capitals 1-0 & Thomas Harley Gets PAID!

Dallas Stars secure a gritty 1-0 shutout victory over the Washington Capitals behind Jake Oettinger's stellar 24-save performance. But the biggest story? Thomas Harley signs an 8-year, $10.6 million extension that pairs him with Miro Heiskanen as two top-tier defensemen for under $20 million combined. Joey Erickson breaks down the Stars' special teams dominance, going 3-for-3 on the penalty kill against Alex Ovechkin's power play while Tyler Seguin's deflection provided the game's only goal. The analysis covers Harley's contract structure, cap implications for Jason Robertson's future, and why moving Ilya Lyubushkin's $3.25 million deal could create roster flexibility. Sam Steel's energetic 19-minute performance earns praise alongside the team's improved defensive connectivity and shot-blocking prowess. Key discussions include Heiskanen's "steal of the century" contract, Harley's belief in Dallas as a championship contender, and how the Stars' three-game winning streak positions them in the wild card race. Discover why this extension reshapes Dallas's defensive future and playoff aspirations.
