Jason Robertson starred for the Dallas Stars with a goal and an assist in their 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. The Stars established an early lead with three first-period goals, including a power-play score from Robertson, as they improved to 10-3-1 in their last 14 games. Rookie Wyatt Johnston and teammates Matej Blumel and Mavrik Bourque contributed to the scoring while goaltender Jake Oettinger made 33 saves. Despite a late effort from Simon Edvinsson, Johnston quickly restored the three-goal cushion.
Detroit's Alex Lyon, while stopping 21 shots, faced difficulties with the team now having lost three of their last four games. The Stars, boasting a rigorous penalty kill, successfully thwarted all three of Detroit's power plays, maintaining their advantageous position in the game. Oettinger, with seven wins in his last eight starts, solidified his reputation as a formidable goaltender as the Stars extended their winning streak against the Red Wings to eight games.
