In a thrilling matchup on Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars triumphed over the Buffalo Sabres with a score of 4-2, marking a significant milestone for Wyatt Johnston, who scored the tiebreaking goal in his 200th NHL game. Johnston's decisive moment came at 11:32 of the third period when he redirected a pass from Thomas Harley past Sabres goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, propelling the Stars to a 3-2 lead.

The Stars showcased a strong performance overall, with Jason Robertson contributing significantly with one goal and two assists. Roope Hintz added to the scoreline with his 16th goal of the season, while Esa Lindell sealed the victory with an empty-net goal. Goalie Casey DeSmith made 21 saves, achieving his second career assist on Lindell's goal, and helped the Stars extend their points streak to four games (3-0-1).

For the Sabres, Jason Tucker and Beck Malenstyn found the back of the net, but their three-game winning streak came to an end. Luukkonen faced a barrage of shots, stopping 29 attempts from the Stars. Notably, Tage Thompson assisted on Zucker's goal, extending his point streak to four games, and he has accumulated an impressive 10 points in his last eight encounters with Dallas.
