Robertson Hat Trick Lifts Stars to 5-1 Win Over Flyers

Jason Robertson recorded his sixth career hat trick to lead the Dallas Stars to a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night in Dallas, extending the Stars' winning streak to five games.

Robertson scored twice in the second period and added a power-play goal in the third, marking his second consecutive multi-goal performance and giving him three straight three-point games. His natural hat trick powered Dallas, which has earned points in 12 of its last 13 contests and set a franchise record with 14 consecutive goals dating back to November 11 against Ottawa. The win improved Dallas to 12-4-3, while Philadelphia dropped to 9-6-3.

Lian Bichsel opened the scoring at 3:48 of the first period with his first goal of the season, capitalizing on an early Dallas offensive that saw the Stars outshoot the Flyers 8-2 in the frame. Tyler Seguin added a goal and an assist, his tally coming at 11:03 of the third during a Flyers line change, assisted by Ilya Lyubushkin. Roope Hintz provided assists on all three of Robertson's goals. Jake Oettinger stopped 20 of 21 shots for Dallas, maintaining a perfect penalty kill over the past four games.

The Flyers managed only a late response...
