DALLAS (AP) — Jason Robertson scored two goals, Justin Hryckowian had a goal and two assists, and the Dallas Stars ended a three-game skid while snapping the Boston Bruins’ six-game winning streak, 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Wyatt Johnston, Mavrik Bourque and Esa Lindell also scored for the Stars, who had just three goals in their previous three games. Miro Heiskanen had three assists and Jake Oettinger had 16 saves.
The Bruins trailed 6-0 when Morgan Geekie scored on the power play to end Oettinger’s shutout bid with 7:49 to play. Geekie ended a personal 12-game goal-scoring drought when he tipped in David Pastrnak’s shot.
Fraser Minten also scored for Boston while Jeremy Swayman made 28 saves before he was lifted in favor of Joonas Korpisalo, who had three stops.
The Stars played without leading scorer Mikko Rantanen (19 goals, 44 assists), who was out with an illness.
Johnston’s goal with 3:52 left in the first was his NHL-leading 16th power-play goal this season. Bourque’s first-period goal also came on the power play.
Johnston has six goals and six assists over the past 12 games.
Robertson scored his 28th and 29th goals of the season early in the third period.
The Bruins had allowed two goals or less per game during their six-game winning streak.
The Stars outshot the Bruins 37-18 and won 65% of the faceoffs.
