LAST DALLAS STARS GAME
March 4, 2023 – STARS 7 vs. AVALANCHE 3
The Stars tied their season high for goals in a game with seven even-strength tallies in a 7-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday (first: 7-2 win on Nov. 3, 2022 at Arizona). Jason Robertson (2-1—3), Joe Pavelski (1-1—2) and Roope Hintz (0-2—2) each had multi-point efforts, and all three factored on two goals against the Avs. The trio have combined on 14 goals this season which trails only Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (19). Rookie forward Wyatt Johnston (1-0—1) scored his 15th goal of the season to move past Valeri Nichushkin (14 in 2013-14 and in 2014-15) for the most career goals by a teenager in Dallas Stars team history. Forward Mason Marchment (1-0—1) busted a 32-game goal drought, Radek Faksa (1-0—1) tallied his eighth goal of 2022-23 and defenseman Miro Heiskanen (1-0—1) netted his ninth goal of the season. In his Stars debut, forward Max Domi had two shots, one hit and one takeaway in 16:12 TOI. Goaltender Jake Oettinger’s 32-save effort boosted his record this season to 26-8-10.
