NHL Roundup: Stars Light the Lamp Three Times in Third Period to Sink Islanders
Dallas scored three times in the third period, and Jason Robertson added two goals as the Stars won their fifth straight game.
On Sunday, the Dallas Stars defeated the New York Islanders 6-3 at American Airlines Center, extending their winning streak to five games with Jason Robertson scoring twice.
Islanders head coach Pete DeBoer returned to Dallas for the first time since the Stars fired him in 2025 following three straight conference final appearances, though the loss snapped New York's five-game point streak.
New York's Matthew Schaefer, 19, scored his 25th career goal to surpass Hall of Famer Bobby Orr for the second-most by a teenage defenseman in NHL history. "Every time you go, it's hard, heavy hockey," Brayden Schenn said.
After erasing three one-goal deficits to enter the final period tied 3-3, the Islanders buckled under Dallas pressure; Wyatt Johnston broke the tie at 4:10 of the third period, and Robertson added his second goal to seal the victory.
The Islanders face the Nashville Predators on Tuesday to continue their three-game road trip, while the Stars host the New Jersey Devils, seeking to extend their winning streak.
