Petr Mrazek stopped 33 shots in his third shutout of the season and the Carolina Hurricanes moved into a wild-card playoff spot with a 3-0 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Justin Williams and Brock McGinn scored less than four minutes apart in the first period and Mrazek did the rest, turning aside shot after shot. The Hurricanes improved to 16-5-1 in their last 22 games, the most wins and points in the NHL in that span. The Stars were shut out for the second straight game, after losing 6-0 to Tampa Bay on Thursday. “I was very fired up at the end of the first period after that save,” Mrazek said.
