DALLAS — 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Wyatt Johnston and Matt Duchene scored power-play goals for the Stars, and Johnston also had an assist. Jake Oettinger made 20 saves.<\/p>\n
Robertson is tied with Edmonton\u2019s Connor McDavid for second in the NHL in goals scored.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Dallas split a back-to-back, shutting out Columbus 1-0 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The teams traded power-play goals in the first period. Johnston\u2019s 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\u2019s Dallas record. Dvorsky tied the score at 11:30 on the Blues\u2019 first shot on goal, his team-high fifth power-play goal.<\/p>\n
Buchnevich\u2019s one-timer from the slot put St. Louis ahead four minutes into the second period. Duchene answered with Dallas\u2019 second power-play goal 3 1\/2 minutes later with Binnington tossing his stick toward the puck.<\/p>\n
The Stars finished with five defensemen after Ilya Lyubushkin left during the second period with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
Blues: Will complete a back-to-back at home vs. Los Angeles on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Stars: Will complete a home-and-home at St. Louis on Tuesday night.___<\/p>\n
