The Dallas Stars cruised to a 4-1 victory in Friday's Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild to advance to the second round.

Jake Oettinger extended his shutout streak to 114:13 before Frederick Gaudreau bested him in the third period. He made 22 saves in the victory.

Roope Hintz opened the scoring in the first period with a dazzling solo effort, undressing former Stars teammate John Klingberg in the process.

Wyatt Johnston netted his first postseason goal in the second period before Mason Marchment beat the buzzer with under a second remaining in the frame. Max Domi added an empty netter at the end of the contest.

The Wild drop their eighth consecutive playoff series with the loss. Minnesota last advanced to the second round in 2015, when they knocked off the St. Louis Blues.

Dallas will face either the Colorado Avalanche or Seattle Kraken in the next round.
