In a meeting of teams not going to the
playoffs, Dallas outshot Chicago 50-23, eventually breaking
through against Chicago goaltender Collin Delia, who made 45
saves.
The Blackhawks had the benefit of a 4-on-3 advantage for the
majority of overtime, as the Stars' Radek Faksa was whistled for
a high sticking double minor at 19:39 of the third period, but
were unable to capitalize.
Dallas (23-19-14, 60 points) netted the game-winner as Robertson
scored on the rebound of a Benn shot as the Stars moved out in
transition.
Chicago (24-25-7, 55 points) squandered three two-goal leads.
The final instance came midway through the third period, as
Dallas' Joel Kiviranta and Jason Dickinson scored 1:54 apart to
tie the game at 4.
Alex DeBrincat, Pius Suter, Dylan Strome and Vinnie Hinostroza
each had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks.
Jake Oettinger had 19 saves for the Stars.
DeBrincat opened the scoring just 53 seconds into the game,
capitalizing on a Stars turnover and beating Oettinger with a
backhand.
DeBrincat netted his team-high 32nd goal while becoming the
first player to register a goal in each of his club's last seven
regular season games since 1985, when John Anderson did the
trick for Toronto.
Just 29 seconds later, DeBrincat assisted on Suter's goal,
providing Chicago with a two-goal cushion that held up until Joe
Pavelski got Dallas on the board at 15:30 of the first period.
The Blackhawks took a 3-1 lead on just their 10th shot of the
game, as Strome scored on a 2-on-0 with Hinostroza that followed
Miro Heiskanen's drive off the post at the other end moments
earlier.
Heiskanen persevered at 19:58 of the period, however, drawing a
penalty and scoring on the power play just three seconds into
the man advantage to cut deficit to 3-2.
