DALLAS STARS NOTES:
LAST DALLAS STARS GAME
Nov. 23, 2022 – STARS 6 vs. BLACKHAWKS 4
The Stars capped off one of the wildest comebacks in recent years with five unanswered goals in the third period to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-4 at American Airlines Center on Wednesday night. In front of a sellout crowd of 18,532, the Stars erased a three-goal deficit with under 10 minutes remaining in regulation on goals from captain Jamie Benn (1-1—2) and forwards Mason Marchment (1-0—1), Ty Dellandrea (1-0—1) and the eventual game winner from Radek Faksa (1-0—1) to give the club its 12th victory of the season (12-5-3, 27 points) and a four-point cushion atop the Central Division. Forward Jason Robertson (2-0—2) pushed his point streak to 13 consecutive games (14-10—24), placing him in a tie for the longest streak in Dallas Stars history (1993-present) and the third longest in franchise history (1967-present). His second goal on the night put the game on ice in the closing seconds of the third period to give the Stars a 6-4 lead. In all, 12 players recorded at least one point in the win, including a multi-assist performance (0-2—2) from defenseman Jani Hakanpaa, whose point shot deflected off Dellandrea’s stick to even the score, 4-4, just 14 seconds after Marchment’s tally. The Stars have won four in a row (4-0-0) against the Blackhawks, including the past two consecutive contests at American Airlines Center. Goaltender Jake Oettinger improved to 5-1-2 in nine career appearances against the Blackhawks. His 27- save effort boosted his record this season to 8-2-2 in 14 games.
