Robertson Nets OT Winner as Stars Rally Past Predators for Eighth Straight Win

Oettinger’s first start since the Olympics extended his personal streak to seven victories.

Overview

  • Dallas erased a 2-0 first-period deficit after goals from Nashville’s Michael Bunting and Steven Stamkos, with Wyatt Johnston scoring on the power play to start the comeback.
  • Nathan Bastian tied the game early in the third, and at 1:47 of overtime Miro Heiskanen fed Jason Robertson for the winner moments after Brady Skjei struck the post.
  • Johnston’s goal was his 20th on the power play and 32nd overall, extending a single-season franchise-era mark since the team’s 1993–94 relocation.
  • Jake Oettinger stopped 25 shots in the 3-2 victory and is 7-0 in his last seven starts.
  • The win tied Dallas’ franchise-long eight-game streak and the Stars improved to 20-4-9 in one-goal games; next up are Vancouver for Dallas and Detroit for Nashville on Monday.
