Jason Robertson scored two goals as the Dallas Stars defeated the New York Islanders 6-3 on Sunday at American Airlines Center, extending their winning streak to five games.
New York had erased three one-goal deficits before Dallas took control in the third period. Wyatt Johnston put the Stars ahead 4-3 with a shot from the slot at 4:10. Robertson then finished a breakaway at 9:45, taking a stretch pass from Tyler Seguin to give Dallas its first two-goal cushion. Mikko Rantanen added the final goal at 13:02.
Seguin opened the scoring in the first period. Matthew Schaefer answered for the Islanders during 4-on-4 play, but Robertson restored the Dallas lead 49 seconds later. Kyle Palmieri tied it in the second before Justin Hryckowian scored on a power play for Dallas. Brayden Schenn made it 3-3 late in the period.
Seguin and Johnston each finished with a goal and an assist, while Roope Hintz supplied two assists. Bo Horvat had two assists for New York, and Ilya Sorokin made 32 saves.
Dallas improved to 7-3-1 after winning the first three games of its six-game homestand. The Islanders fell to 5-4-2 as their five-game point streak ended. The loss came in coach Peter DeBoer's return to Dallas, where he coached from 2022 to 2025.
