Robertson scores twice, Benn adds tally as Stars beat Golden Knights 4-3

Jake Oettinger makes an incredible save to seal Stars' victory

Roope Hintz also scored and Matt Duchene, Wyatt Johnston and Evgenii Dadonov had two assists apiece as the Stars evened the season series 1-1 in matchup of teams that have also split two playoff meetings the past two seasons.

Jake Oettinger made 18 saves, including a sprawling glove save to his left on a point-blank attempt by Pavel Dorofeyev with 22 seconds remaining.

Jack Eichel scored twice and Shea Theodore added a goal for the Golden Knights, who started the night still atop the Pacific Division but dropped to 2-6-1 in their past nine games.

Mark Stone had three assists for Vegas, and Tomas Hertl added a helper to tie his career-best, eight-game point streak from 2021-22 with San Jose. Adin Hill finished with 23 saves.

Takeaways Golden Knights: Vegas extended a franchise record by scoring on the power play in an eighth consecutive game, but Victor Olofsson's club-best road point streak ended at 10 games. The Golden Knights went 2 for 3 against the NHL's best penalty-killing team.

Stars: Robertson's second multigoal game of the season gave him 17, three behind Hintz. The club's team leader answered Eichel's game-opening goal with his 20th, also on the power play, in the first period.

Key moment Vegas' Noah Hanifin had a breakaway chance coming out of the penalty box in the second period but missed right on an open net. Robertson scored his first 26 seconds later for Dallas' first lead.

Key stat Johnston tied his career best with a six-game point streak.

Up next Stars play at St. Louis on Saturday, and Golden Knights host Florida on Sunday.

This corrects a previous version with Jake Oettinger's save being with his glove, not his pad.
