Jason Robertson's scoring prowess remains undiminished as he netted his 33rd goal of the season, helping the Dallas Stars secure a commanding 5-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken, thus clinching their playoff spot for the fourth consecutive year. The Stars displayed their signature grinding style, overcoming an early deficit after Eeli Tolvanen opened the scoring for Seattle. Roope Hintz's power-play goal in the second period shifted the momentum in favor of Dallas, paving the way for additional strikes from Mason Marchment and others in the final frame.

With this victory, Dallas sits closely behind Winnipeg, just four points away from the top seed in the conference. Although the Stars registered only 21 shots on goal, their efficiency in capitalizing on opportunities, combined with Jake Oettinger's 34 saves, illustrated their dominance on the ice. The Kraken, despite a strong showing with 35 shots and impressive hitting stats, couldn't convert their chances, leading to a disappointing outcome at home.
