Robertson Peppers Buffalo's Net but Leaves Empty-Handed in Dallas Win
The Stars forward fired away all night and drew no points, while Oettinger and the Stars shut the Sabres out at home.
Jason Robertson did not reach the score sheet in Dallas's 2-0 win over Buffalo, but he was in the thick of the shooting. He finished with 0 points, 5 shots on goal and a plus/minus of 0 in 18:37 of ice time.
That ice time ranked sixth among 18 Stars skaters and second among the team's 12 forwards. It was not the team high. He played 20 shifts.
Four of his shots came at even strength (five attempts in all), and one came on the power play (two attempts). None found the net. He also blocked one shot and took 2 penalty minutes. He had no hits, takeaways or giveaways.
For the season, Robertson has 9 goals and 11 assists in 19 games and shoots at 14.52 percent, so five shots without a goal is a quiet result for a forward with that kind of finish. He has 62 shots on the year, and he put up 5 of them in one night.
The Stars got the win without his name on the sheet. They moved to 11-6-2 and now host Florida.
