Jason Robertson recorded his second consecutive hat trick and Minnesota native Jake Oettinger made 32 saves to lift the Dallas Stars to a 6–3 victory over the Wild on Sunday in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Robertson’s back-to-back hat tricks give him eight tallies in his last five games. He became the fourth active NHL player to score three or more goals in consecutive games—along with Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, the Florida Panthers’ Noel Acciari, and the Nashville Predators’ Filip Forsberg.
