DALLAS (AP) – Andrew Raycroft had 27 saves for his first career shutout and Brian Rolston scored twice Wednesday night as the Boston Bruins won for the first time this season with a 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars.

Rolston scored in the first period and then added an empty-net goal with 3.7 seconds remaining to provide all the offense for the Bruins, who were outshot 27-13.

The Bruins, who were 0-6-3 in their last nine meetings with the Stars, killed four Dallas power plays in the third period. Marty Turco made 11 saves for the Stars.

Dallas put on the pressure in the second period but Raycroft stopped all 15 shots to preserve the Bruins’ one-goal lead.

Rolston scored his first goal of the season with 2:52 left in the opening period, converting P.J. Axelsson’s goal-mouth feed.

Notes: The crowd of 18,289 ended the Stars’ streak of 238 consecutive home sellouts, including playoffs. … The Stars announced that team executives Les Jackson and Guy Carbonneau have been given the title of assistant general manager. … RW Martin Lapointe made his season debut for the Bruins.

Lapointe missed the first three games while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. … Stars RW Jere Lehtinen was scratched due to back spasms. Before the game, Lehtinen received the Selke Trophy he won last season as the league’s top defensive forward.
