He is the first Dallas Star to score back-to-back hat tricks and just the second in franchise history.
Robertson got his hat trick on an empty net goal after he capitalized on a turnover by the Wild in their own zone. Nothing comes easy for the Stars, as they somehow managed to improve their record to 9-2-1 since the All-Star break. Jamie Benn finally managed to hit the target, though, with 1:05 left in the game to ice it away. The failed challenge gave Dallas basically a full power play opportunity to start the middle frame. The play was a result of the Stars’ inability to cleanly clear the puck through neutral ice, losing a battle along the boards just outside of their own blue line. Jason Robertson has secured his place in history as the first Dallas Stars player with back-to-back hat tricks.
Just 22 years old and already anchoring Dallas' top line, American forward Jason Robertson recorded his second hat trick of the weekend on Sunday afternoon, ...
Sturm scored his ninth goal of the season midway through the period. The Stars have won four in a row and seven of their last nine. The Stars had a few looks at an open net, and Oettinger even joked in his postgame availability that he was thinking about giving it a shot. Kaprizov scored his second of the game with 1:57 to play. The previous two to achieve that feat before Forsberg are both in the Hockey Hall of Fame: Eric Lindros and Teemu Selanne. He now has 54 points on the season and is the team leader in goals.

"You just have to keep moving forward and focus on what’s coming next.” “Now we’re in the hunt for one of those top three spots in the division, and that’s what we’re shooting for.” Minnesota outshot the Stars 6–0 in the game’s first four minutes. Now the puck is going in for us,” Dallas coach Rick Bowness said. And he’s got it.” “Nobody else in the league feels sorry for us. So we’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves.” Kaapo Kahkonen gave up four goals on 21 shots before being pulled midway through the second period.

Peterson coming out of the lineup was a mild surprise, but Bowness said the Stars wanted to give the 22-year-old a rest.”Petey just needs a breather,” Bowness said. ”We need him to use his size,” Bowness said before the game. Robertston has nine game-winning goals, which is second in the NHL. Leon Draisaitl leads the league with 10 game-winners. “He knows where to put the puck,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. Now the Stars move on to Nashville and Tuesday night will bid for a three-game sweep of their Central Division road swing. Bill Goldsworthy accomplished the feat for the Stars’ direct ancestors, the Minnesota North Stars, in March 1971.
Given his outstanding production in his first two NHL seasons, especially in the goals category, Robertson is due for a huge pay day coming off his entry-level ...
Rantanen scored 87 points in just 74 games in 2018-19, a points-per-game rate of 1.18. Toronto right winger Mitch Marner also signed a six-year deal in 2019 following a campaign in which he had 94 points in 82 games (1.14 points per game). Marner’s $10.9-million AAV will be touted by the Robertson camp as relevant, but it seems to be a deal that has later been viewed as an outlier given Marner’s lower goal totals, so the Rantanen deal is probably one that the parties will find more common ground on viewing as a comparable. In the final analysis, there are many factors that go into a negotiation that outside parties aren’t always privy to, so I don’t like to peg numbers too rigidly. Maybe the Stars can still get something like that accomplished by appealing to Robertson to accept less to help continue building around him. Brady Tkachuk’s seven-year, $8.2 million-per-year deal in 2021 also fits into the equation, although Tkachuk’s value isn’t necessarily measured in goals and assists. With the production Robertson has shown and the positive trend line over his three entry-level years, signing him for three years at $7 million per season would be a good deal for Dallas. A month ago, the Stars might have been able to justify getting Robertson signed to a more modest long-term contract, such as the seven-year, $7.14-million-per-season deal the Jets gave to Kyle Connor or the eight-year deal Clayton Keller got in Arizona at a $7.15-million AAV. However, after the recent dominant run of play by Robertson, his points per game looks like it will vastly exceed what those players brought to the negotiating table. Robertson is 22 years old and in the final year of his entry-level contract. If the Stars are prepared to go with a longer term, as they probably should given the leadership role Robertson will play on their team going forward, the comparables have even bigger tickets. Kaprizov had played just one season in the NHL at the time of signing, and it was the abbreviated 56-game 2020-21 season, so a true comparison requires extrapolating his totals over a full 82-game season. It works out to approximately 40 goals, while Aho had 30 goals in his platform year. That’s rare production, even considering some of the young talent that has come through the league in recent years. Robertson turned in a masterful performance, recording the NHL’s first back-to-back hat tricks since Alex Ovechkin accomplished the feat in January 2020.
Robertson recorded his second consecutive hat trick during a win over the Wild that had a lot of storylines.
Coming into the game on a four-game point streak, Robertson failed to register a point in Minnesota while Kaprizov had a four-point night.
