Matt Duchene led the charge with two goals as the Dallas Stars overwhelmed the San Jose Sharks in an 8-3 victory. After falling behind 2-0 early on, the Stars rallied back with three consecutive goals from Duchene, Jason Robertson, and Mason Marchment to take control. Duchene added another power play goal in the second period, while Mavrik Bourque, Wyatt Johnston, Thomas Harley, and Jamie Benn also contributed to the offensive explosion.

Casey DeSmith was steady in goal, stopping 23 shots. This win helped the Stars bounce back after a tough shootout loss to the Kings. With injuries impacting their roster, the upcoming 4 Nations break should give Dallas a chance to recover key players like Miro Heiskanen, who is out long-term.
