3-2
[January 24, 2026]
DALLAS (AP) — Jason Robertson scored his 30th goal of the season with
one minute to play to lift the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory over the
St. Louis Blues on Friday night.
Robertson lifted the puck in from the right circle four seconds after
Roope Hintz won a faceoff for the Stars, who have won two of their last
three games following a three-game losing streak. |

Wyatt Johnston and Matt Duchene scored power-play goals for the
Stars, and Johnston also had an assist. Jake Oettinger made 20
saves.
Robertson is tied with Edmonton’s Connor McDavid for second in
the NHL in goals scored.
Pavel Buchnevich had a goal and an assist and rookie Dalibor
Dvorsky also scored for the Blues, who have lost eight
consecutive road games, all in regulation, and are a league
worst 7-15-3 away from home. Jordan Binnington stopped 16 shots,
his record at Dallas dropping to 1-5-3.
Dallas split a back-to-back, shutting out Columbus 1-0 on
Thursday night.
The teams traded power-play goals in the first period.
Johnston’s rebound score gave the Stars a 1-0 lead 5:41 in. His
17th power-play goal is the most in the NHL this season and one
short of Mike Modano’s Dallas record. Dvorsky tied the score at
11:30 on the Blues’ first shot on goal, his team-high fifth
power-play goal.
Buchnevich’s one-timer from the slot put St. Louis ahead four
minutes into the second period. Duchene answered with Dallas’
second power-play goal 3 1/2 minutes later with Binnington
tossing his stick toward the puck.
The Stars finished with five defensemen after Ilya Lyubushkin
left during the second period with a lower-body injury.
