DALLAS STARS NOTES:

LAST DALLAS STARS GAME
March 6, 2023 – STARS 4 vs. FLAMES 5
Just seven seconds away from overtime, the Stars suffered a heartbreaking 5-4 defeat to the Calgary Flames at American Airlines Center on Monday. The Stars erased two separate two-goal deficits and netted the game-tying marker at the 14:12 mark of the third period, but their three-game winning streak was erased with a breakaway goal from Flames forward Tyler Toffoli. Jason Robertson (1-0—1) scored his 38th goal of the season, Max Domi (1-0—1) recorded his first goal as a member of the Stars, Roope Hintz (1-0—1) tallied his eighth career shorthanded marker (and third of 2022-23) and Jamie Benn (1-0—1) netted his 26th of the season. Picking up assists were Joe Pavelski (0-1—1), Mason Marchment (0-1—1), Tyler Seguin (0-1—1), Jani Hakanpää (0-1—1), Miro Heiskanen (0-1—1) and Esa Lindell (0-1—1). Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 32 saves on 37 shots.

DALLAS STARS NOTES
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Stars embark on their longest road trip of the season – a six-game trek that begins tonight against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center. (6 p.m. CT, TV: Bally Sports Southwest, Radio: The Ticket 96.7-FM/1310-AM). It’s a bit of an unorthodox journey with the Stars traveling east to Buffalo only to fly across the country to Seattle for a game two nights later. Following two consecutive games against the Kraken, the Stars will travel up to Vancouver, then to Edmonton before finishing things off in Calgary on March 18. Tonight’s contest wraps up the two-game season series between the Stars and Sabres, which opened with a 3-2 overtime victory for Buffalo on Jan. 23 at American Airlines Center.
