Dallas Stars' Jason Robertson's late power play goal gives them 3-2 win over St. Louis Blues

Jason Robertson struck the go-ahead tally with just one minute remaining in the game to propel the Dallas Stars to a thrilling comeback 3-2 victory in front of the St. Louis Blues on Friday night at the American Airlines Center. It is a good time for the Star franchise to be getting the lift as the second half of the schedule begins.

It was an opportune time to pick up the win, as this visiting team had yet to play with much consistency, even though they were playing well. Not only did the last-minute goal by Jason Robertson ensure that this game would have a winner, but it proved that this Dallas team member was capable of closing games, which they had not done in several contests.

Jason Robertson breaks tie during third period of Dallas Stars’ match against St. Louis Blues

As the game remained tied at 2-2 deep into the third period of the game, the Dallas team managed to take advantage of their face-off in the offensive zone. Forward Roope Hintz won the face-off cleanly and sent the disc over to Robertson before firing an exacting wrist shot that slipped behind the glove hand of the Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington. Dallas scored the game-winner at the 19:00 mark of the game to send the home crowd into full party mode.

The result is a welcome boost for the Dallas Stars, who have faced a difficult period in the recent past. Although the win does not signal an end to the poor run experienced by the Stars, the result confirms the notion that the Stars are able to scrape past opponents with whom they are well familiar within the Central Division.

Meanwhile, the defeat for St. Louis remains an indicator of how the team continues to have problems in executing in the final moments of the game, as despite their stretches of good play and improved puck movement, mistakes proved to be costly for them again in the final minutes of play.

As the Stars look ahead, Robertson's game-winning score has the chance to become a turning point, helping to boost confidence and prove to the rest of the league that Dallas is still a force to be reckoned with, especially down the stretch in games.
