Robertson Keeps Shooting, but Stars Fall to Montréal at Home
Dallas drops a 5-2 decision to the Canadiens despite a busy night from its scoring forward and a short losing streak now in play.
Jason Robertson went without a point in Dallas's 5-2 home loss to Montréal, finishing minus one on a night when he was still firing the puck.
He put four shots on goal in 21:32 of ice time, fifth among the Stars' 18 skaters and third among their 12 forwards. He logged 16 shifts, with no power-play points, no penalty minutes and no hits. He added one blocked shot and one takeaway, against two giveaways.
That shot total is a little above his season pace. Through 13 games he has 43 shots, about three a night, along with 5 goals and 8 assists for 13 points. His 20.1 minutes a game puts this night's ice time just above normal.
The box score shows a quiet line for a forward who usually produces: four looks, nothing to show for them. The Stars now carry a one-game losing streak at 7-4-1, and Robertson missed his chance to change that.
