The Dallas Stars are taking on the Minnesota Wild in Game 3 of their first-round series in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Minnesota and Dallas split the first two games in Dallas. With the series shifting to Minnesota for the next couple of games, the Wild looked to get off to a hot start. However, Jason Robertson had other plans.

The Stars star scored midway through the first period to give Dallas a 2-0 lead. This goal marks his third straight game with a goal in this series. And, dating back to last season, it’s his sixth straight goal in postseason contests.
Robertson’s tally established a new franchise record, as well. His six-game playoff goal streak is now the longest such streak in franchise history, according to ESPN Insights. He surpassed Milan Marcetta and Steve Payne, who each scored in five straight postseason contests. Both of their streaks came within one postseason, as well.
It’s hard to overstate the importance Robertson has to the Stars . He is one of the best young players in the NHL at this time. He is the first player in the history of the Dallas Stars to score 100 points in a single season. The 26-year-old nearly did it again in 2025-26, scoring 96 points.

The Stars were unable to hold the lead Robertson helped spot them, however. Minnesota stormed back, scoring once in the first and twice in the second. Forward Michael McCarron scored the go-ahead goal to give the Wild a 3-2 lead. Dallas did tie the game in the third thanks to a goal from veteran Matt Duchene .
The winner of this contest will take a crucial 2-1 series lead into Game 4, which will be played on Saturday.
