Dallas Stars’ Jason Robertson Breaks Goal Drought with Hat Trick in Game 3 Win Over Edmonton Oilers

In a thrilling Game 3 of the NHL’s Western Conference Final, the Dallas Stars’ star forward Jason Robertson ended his 10-game goal drought in spectacular fashion. Robertson scored a hat trick to lead the Stars to a 5-3 victory over the host Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, giving his team a 2-1 series lead.

Robertson had not found the back of the net since Game 5 of the first-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights on May 1. However, he made up for lost time by scoring three crucial goals against the Oilers, including the game-winner in the third period.

The breakout performance began in the second period when Robertson received a pass from linemate Roope Hintz and fired a laser shot past Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner to put the Stars on the board. Just minutes later, Robertson tied the game with a strong backhand goal off a rebound.

The highlight of the night came in the third period when Robertson completed his hat trick by scoring a goal from a difficult angle that bounced off the rear end of Skinner and into the net. Before Robertson’s heroics, the Oilers had taken a 2-0 lead in the first period, with Connor McDavid leading the charge.

However, the Stars turned the tide in the second period, outshooting the Oilers and scoring three consecutive goals to take a 3-2 lead. Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz also contributed to the victory, with Johnston scoring his eighth goal of the playoffs and Hintz recording two assists in his return from an upper-body injury.

With the series now in their favor, the Stars will look to maintain their momentum in Game 4 against the Oilers on Wednesday night. Fans can expect more thrilling action as the two teams battle for a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
