Roope Hintz shone for the Dallas Stars, netting two goals in a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators, marking his team-high 18 goals this season. The Stars showcased a balanced offensive effort with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene also contributing goals, while Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston each provided two assists. This win extends Dallas' points streak to five games, a season-best.
The Senators initially took the lead with goals from Brady Tkachuk and Ridly Greig, but the Stars quickly responded, with Benn and Hintz scoring to regain control. Jake Oettinger made 11 saves, and the Stars' defense was particularly effective, allowing only 13 shots from Ottawa, the fewest against them this season.
