Stars' Robertson Shines with Clutch Overtime Assists

In a thrilling overtime battle between the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights, Jason Robertson emerged as the hero, setting up both game-tying and game-winning goals with his pinpoint passing. The young winger’s heroics propelled the Stars to a crucial 3-2 victory in Game 3, cutting the Golden Knights’ series lead to 2-1.

Robertson’s impact was felt immediately, as he kickstarted the Stars’ comeback with a slick feed to rookie sensation Wyatt Johnston for the game-tying goal late in the third period. However, his finest moment came in the extra frame, when he threaded a perfectly weighted pass through the Vegas defense, finding Johnston once again for the overtime winner at 16:23.

The 23-year-old sniper’s performance was a testament to his composure under pressure, as he finished the night with two assists, four shots on goal, and a relentless forechecking effort that kept the Golden Knights on their heels.

“Jason was outstanding tonight,” praised head coach Peter DeBoer. “He’s the type of player who elevates his game when the stakes are highest, and that’s exactly what he did. His vision and playmaking ability were on full display, and those were two incredible plays to set up the tying and winning goals.”

Robertson’s dynamic partnership with Johnston and Roope Hintz has emerged as a formidable trio for the Stars, combining skill, speed, and tenacity to torment opposing defenses. The three players have combined for seven points in the series thus far, with Robertson leading the charge with four assists.

“It’s been a blast playing with those two guys,” Robertson beamed. “We just seem to click out there, and we’re feeding off each other’s energy and competitiveness. Tonight was a huge win for us, but we know the job’s not done yet. We’ll enjoy this one for a little bit, but then it’s right back to work to prepare for Game 4.”

As the series shifts back to Dallas for Games 3 and 4, the Stars will look to ride the momentum of their overtime heroics and even the score against the formidable Golden Knights. With Robertson firing on all cylinders, and the home crowd behind them, the Stars have every reason to believe they can turn this series into an epic battle.
