ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Jason Robertson had his second hat trick of the weekend and the Dallas Stars outlasted the Minnesota Wild 6-3 on Sunday to take over the top wild-card position in the Western Conference.
Robertson, a 22-year-old American left winger who has cemented his place on Dallas' top line, is up to 29 goals on the season, seven of which have come in the last three games. He's the first NHL player to record back-to-back hat tricks since Washington's Alex Ovechkin in January 2020.
A 2017 second-round pick by the Stars, Robertson had a slow start this season because of injury, but has led a Dallas resurgence into postseason contention.
