Johnston&#8217;s performance led his team to its win.Lm Otero\/The Associated Press<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Wyatt Johnston\u2019s fourth career hat track included two power-play goals, giving him an NHL-best 12, and Jason Robertson had the winning goal and two assists in his 400th career NHL game as the Dallas Stars beat the Ottawa Senators 6-1 on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Johnston also had an assist to match a season high with four points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Mavrik Bourque and Jamie Benn also scored for the Stars, who have won four consecutive games and are 10-1-1 in their last 12 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Dallas backup goaltender Casey DeSmith is 6-0-2 after making 15 saves. Dallas allowed a season-low 16 shots on goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Robertson\u2019s goal came 44 seconds after Jake Sanderson tied the score 1-1. Dallas outscored Ottawa 3-1 in the second period following a scoreless first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Johnston and Robertson share the team lead with 16 goals each, tied for fourth in the NHL. Robertson has points in 10 of his last 11 games (13 goals, 9 assists) and leads Dallas with 35 points (fifth).<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Linus Ullmark stopped 20 shots for the Senators, who are 3-3-0 heading into the finale of a season-long seven-game road trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The Stars\u2019 38 points are second most in the NHL but four behind league-leading Colorado in the Central Division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Dallas\u2019 NHL-best power play has scored 29 times in 26 games. Last season, the Stars\u2019 29th power-play goal came in game No. 49 on Jan. 26.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Mikko Rantanen had a season-high three assists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The Senators went 6-4-3 in November, their first winning mark in the month since 2016-17.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Stars defenseman Lian Bichsel left late in the second period with an apparent injury to his left leg. He went into the boards after getting hung up with Ottawa\u2019s Fabian Zetterlund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Up next, the Senators visit Montreal on Monday, as the Stars begin a back-to-back road trip against the New York Rangers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston scores a goal against Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5,4,1929],"class_list":{"0":"post-332000","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-noastack"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115643339487130541","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
