Robertson's Power-Play Assist Helps Stars Snap the Skid
Dallas gets back in the win column against Columbus at home, with Robertson's one helper coming with the man advantage.
Jason Robertson had a modest night in a Dallas win: one assist, no goals, and a game that stayed mostly off the scoresheet at even strength. The Stars beat the Blue Jackets 3-1 at home and ended a two-game losing streak.
His assist came on the power play, where he also took his only shot on goal. At even strength he had no points and no shots on goal, though he did put two shot attempts up. He finished plus 0 in 16:59 of ice time over 18 shifts. That ranked eighth among the team's 18 skaters and fourth among its 12 forwards, not the team high.
The rest of the line: one hit, one blocked shot, one takeaway and three giveaways.
For the season, Robertson has 5 goals and 9 assists through 14 games and averages 19.9 minutes a night. Tonight's ice time was below that, and with one shot he sat below the pace of his 44 shots this season. It was a quiet night that still produced a point and a win.
