Jason Robertson scores twice to help the Stars beat the Islanders 6-3
DALLAS (AP) --- Jason Robertson scored twice and the Dallas Stars had a
three-goal third period in a 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday
night.
Robertson's breakaway at 9:45 of the third period came five minutes after Wyatt
Johnston's tiebreaker. Mikko Rantanen added a goal four minutes after Robertson
with his team-high sixth goal of the season.
Tyler Seguin and Justin Hryckowian also scored for the Stars, who have won five
consecutive games. Jake Oettinger made 16 saves.
Defenseman Matthew Schaefer, Kyle Palmieri and Brayden Schenn scored for the
Islanders, who erased three one-goal deficits only to lose two straight (0-1-1)
for the first time this season. Ilya Sorokin stopped 32 shots allowing a season
high in goals.
Johnston scored from the slot 4:10 into the final period on a feed from Nils
Lundqvist. After scoring a career-most 45 goals last season, Johnston has goals
in consecutive games after going goalless in his first seven outings.
Sunday marked the Dallas return of Pete DeBoer, who took over the Islanders
with four games to play last season. DeBoer was fired by the Stars in June 2025
after losing in the conference finals in each of his three Dallas seasons.
The Stars have 20 straight penalty kills through its last five games, three on
Sunday.
The game was Dallas' third in a six-game homestand and began a three-game
Central Division trip for New York.
Hryckowian's younger brother, Dylan, and fellow forward Matthew Seminoff made
their NHL debuts on Dallas' fourth line. The brothers were in the starting
lineup.
