Jason Robertson’s historic second-period scoring blitz survived a late Washington rally as Dallas withstood a chaotic five-goal surge to secure a gritty road victory in the capital.
Jason Robertson scored a natural hat trick in the second period to lead the Dallas Stars to a 6-5 road victory over the Washington Capitals. Dallas built a 4-0 lead before Washington mounted a late comeback, but the Stars held on after surviving a third-period surge. Joel Kiviranta, Mikko Rantanen, and Roope Hintz also scored for Dallas in the high-scoring win.

Goaltender Jake Oettinger stopped 20 shots for Dallas, which now heads on the road to play Columbus.
