For Pete DeBoer, time seems to heal all wounds... In his return to American Airlines Center, the former Stars coach said he's only looking forward after an unceremonious exit, and Dallas is doing the same 🏒 | #TexasHockey More from @Lassimak: dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

In his first return to Dallas since being fired 16 months ago, Pete DeBoer didn't want to look backwards. Now with that milestone game behind him, he and his former team can both finally move on. ⤵️ dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

A shorthanded group of Stars continue to persevere with some help from Cedar Park. Jason Robertson led the Stars to one of their best offensive performances of the season. ⤵️ dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

Gulutzan said he doesn’t expect Faksa, Steel or Perron for Tuesday. Said he expects Steel back first from that group.

Final: Stars 6, Islanders 3 The Stars ran away with it in the third period, as Jason Robertson scored twice to lead Dallas to its first six-goal game of the season. That's five straight wins for the Stars.

Jason Robertson scores his second goal of the game. What a great heads-up play by Tyler Seguin. 5-3 Dallas

The Stars moved the puck well, and Wyatt Johnston cashes in. After not scoring in his first seven games, he's scored in his last two. 4-3 Stars

Miro Heiskanen is called for holding after turning it over on the power play. Probably saved a goal, though. 4-on-4

End of first: Stars 2, Islanders 1 The Stars had just four goals in the first period all season before today — the fewest in the league. Tonight they have two, and the lead, after an action-packed start.

I actually have no idea how the Stars did not manage to score there. The puck was behind Sorokin, but somehow he cleared it. Kyle Capobianco unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Mitchell Chaffee roughing penalty. 4-on-4

What a chaotic serquence. Wizardry by Jake Oettinger to save a goal at one end. Tyler Seguin scores on a 2-on-1 chance with Jamie Benn at the other end. That was vintage Dallas. Stars lead 1-0.
