Robertson scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
Robertson found the back of the net at the 10:35 mark of the final frame, as his wrister past Filip Gustavsson allowed the Stars to complete the comeback win in a matchup with massive playoff implications for both teams. Robertson continues to play at an extremely high level for the Stars and is up to 92 points (42 goals, 50 assists) in 79 contests. This has been the second-best season of his career from a scoring perspective, only trailing his 109-point campaign from the 2022-23 season.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Scores clutch goal in win
Rantanen recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
Rantanen helped set up Wyatt Johnston's goal in the first period, and the former later came through in the clutch with a deflection that tied the score 4-4 at the 4:28 mark of the third period. Rantanen has played at a high level since returning from a 15-game absence March 28, tallying seven points (two goals, five assists), nine shots on goal, seven hits and three blocked shots in seven contests since returning to the lineup.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Goal, assist in win
Johnston recorded a goal, an assist, four PIM, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
Johnston built off the two-goal performance he had against the Flames on Tuesday with another strong showing here, breaking the deadlock for Dallas and later assisting on Mikko Rantanen's equalizer in the third period. Johnston has recorded two-point performances in three of his last five games and is up to 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) in 20 outings since the beginning of March.

Lukas Reichel LW | BOS
Bruins' Lukas Reichel: Relegated to AHL
Reichel was reassigned to AHL Providence on Friday.
Reichel was called up from the minors March 18, scoring once and adding an assist in his first game versus Winnipeg, but he picked up only one assist in the following eight games. He was a healthy scratch in two of Boston's last three games. Boston is Reichel's third NHL team this season, and he has combined for three goals and eight points in 28 games in 2025-26.

Jake Oettinger G | DAL
Stars' Jake Oettinger: Concedes four but earns win
Oettinger stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
Oettinger was beaten twice in the first period and twice more in the second, but three of those goals came when the Wild had the man advantage. The Stars mounted a late comeback, though, erasing a 3-1 deficit and later scoring twice in the third to complete the turnaround. Despite the win and his 4-1-0 record over his last five appearances, it's hard to get excited about Oettinger's recent performances. During that five-game stretch, the star netminder has posted a 2.79 GAA and an .869 save percentage, and the numbers look even more worrisome when factoring in that he posted a 22-save shutout against the Jets in that stretch. Oettinger and the Stars have a favorable matchup against the Rangers on Saturday.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Scores two PP goals Thursday
Kaprizov scored two power-play goals on four shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Kaprizov has 45 goals on the season and is ending the regular season on a sizzling note with nine points (seven goals, two helpers) in his last six outings, a span in which he's also racked up 24 shots on goal, five hits and three blocked shots.
