DALLAS — In an exciting matchup, Jason Robertson broke his 10-game scoring drought by netting a goal, contributing to the Dallas Stars’ 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday evening.

Roope Hintz assisted by scoring a goal and adding a helper, while Wyatt Johnston, Jamie Benn, and Evgenii Dadonov each found the back of the net for the Stars. Goalie Jake Oettinger showcased his skills with 20 saves, improving his impressive home record to 7-0-0, having only allowed 10 goals at home this season.

For the Sharks, Mikael Granlund not only scored a short-handed goal but also provided an assist. Jake Walman contributed another goal, and Mackenzie Blackwood made 26 saves in the loss.

After Walman’s goal brought the Sharks within one goal with 6:35 remaining in the third period, Hintz and Dadonov sealed the Stars’ victory with empty-net goals in the closing moments of the game.

Robertson originally gave Dallas a 1-0 lead with just over four minutes left in the first period. He also earned a secondary assist on Johnston’s goal, which came merely 56 seconds into the second period and placed the Stars back in front at 2-1.

During the third period, the Stars had to adjust their lineup due to injuries, competing with just four defensemen. Nils Lundkvist exited in the second period due to a lower-body issue, while Thomas Harley required stitches after a shot hit him in the jaw.

Meanwhile, the Stars struggled with their power play, which has been the lowest-performing in the league, going 0 for 4 against the Sharks and allowing a goal. They have now gone 2 for 27 on power plays this season, with no success in their last 14 opportunities.

**Key Moment:**
The Sharks pushed hard in the final three minutes of play when they were down by just one goal, but they couldn’t capitalize on their chances.
