From the initial puck drop, the Stars took control of the game, demonstrating both offensive efficiency and defensive solidity. Their shooting percentage stood at 16 percent as they managed to convert 5 out of 32 shots into goals. The team's performance was not just limited to scoring; they also excelled in assists with a total of 10 for the night.

The second period was particularly notable for the Stars as they scored four times, effectively putting the game out of reach for their opponents. This offensive burst underscored their ability to capitalize on opportunities throughout the match. Moreover, one of these goals came from a powerplay opportunity which highlighted their special teams' effectiveness.

Defensively, Dallas was impenetrable; goaltending played a crucial role as all 35 shots by Edmonton were saved, maintaining a perfect save percentage and securing a shutout win. This defensive prowess extended beyond goaltending with an impressive number of blocked shots totaling 22.

In contrast, Edmonton struggled throughout all three periods failing to find any rhythm offensively. Despite having four powerplay opportunities and taking more shots than Dallas with a total count of 35 attempts on goal, none found its way past Dallas’ stalwart goalie who recorded an impeccable save percentage.

Edmonton's faceoff performance reflected some competitiveness as they won nearly half at 46 percent but still fell short compared to Dallas’s superior rate at over half won faceoffs standing at 54 percent. Additionally, physicality was present in this matchup with Edmonton registering more hits than Dallas by ten hits but it wasn't enough to shift momentum in favor of them.

Looking ahead after this commanding home victory against Edmonton Oilers where every player contributed significantly towards this win without relying on any empty net or overtime goals; fans can catch future action when Dallas Stars visit Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on April 6th scheduled for broadcast across ESPN+, NBCS-CHI and BSSW networks starting from 7:30 PM local time.
