Jason Robertson scored twice and Jake Oettinger stopped all 22 shots he faced as the Dallas Stars blanked the New York Rangers 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at American Airlines Center. Robertson scored both his 43rd and 44th goals of the season in the third period, both on rebounds from Matt Duchene shots. The game-winner came on the power play at 12:49 and the second was an empty-net goal after Duchene hit the right post. Oettinger records his 4th shutout of the season, his second most shutouts in a single season (5, 2022-23), and the 16th of his NHL career. While the Stars officially clinched home ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs in the middle of the third period, when Minnesota lost to Nashville, the victory in the regular season home finale allowed Dallas to punctuate a fantastic regular season, with two road games left on the calendar. Join the DLLS Stars Post Game Show as we recap all the main storylines, provide comprehensive breakdowns of key plays, Sam reports live from the AAC and we take your Super Chats!

Minnesota Wild beat writer Jess Myers joins the show to break down the highly anticipated Stars vs Wild playoff matchup and the rivalry is as intense as ever.

 

From Minnesota’s perspective, this series feels inevitable… and personal. Jess dives into how the Wild have retooled their identity under Bill Guerin, becoming tougher, deeper, and more dangerous heading into the postseason.

 

We also discuss the impact of key players like Matt Boldy, Kirill Kaprizov, Quinn Hughes, and Vladimir Tarasenko, plus why special teams and discipline could decide the series.

 

And of course, what worries Minnesota most about Dallas? Jake Oettinger in net and the Stars’ lethal power play.

 

With history, bad blood, and playoff pressure building, this matchup has all the ingredients for a war.

The Dallas Stars rallied from a 3-1 deficit to claim a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night at American Airlines Center. With the win, the Stars reduced their magic number to clinch home ice advantage for the first round playoff series against the Wild to two points. In a high-tension, fight-filled affair, Wyatt Johnston scored his 44th goal of the year to give Dallas an early 1-0 lead. Minnesota answered with three-straight goals; a Quinn Hughes even strength tally and two power play goals by Kirill Kaprizov. Colin Blackwell cut the deficit to 3-2 and then Cameron Hughes scored his first career NHL goal to tie it at 3-3. However, Ryan Hartman scored Minnesota’s third power play goal of the night with 11 seconds left in the second period. Mikko Rantanen tied the game at 4-4 and then Jason Robertson got the game-winner, his 42nd goal of the year.

Plus, a look at how Benn has rediscovered his edge, bringing back the physicality, leadership, and production the Stars will need heading into the playoffs.

 

Is this the year Benn finally caps it all off with a Stanley Cup?

The Colorado Avalanche officially clinched both the Central Division regular season title and the top seed in the Western Conference on Tuesday night with a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center. That confirms what we all suspected for months, the Dallas Stars and the Minnesota Wild will face each other in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The only question that remains is who will finish in second place in the Central and thus control home ice advantage? The Stars maintain a two point lead over the Wild with four games remaining and a massive showdown between the two clubs on Thursday night in Dallas. At 2:15 p.m., we will be joined by Jess Myers, Minnesota Wild beat writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press to get the opposition perspective of this fierce Central Division rivalry. Also on today’s show, we’ll get a practice update from Sam, Luds will revisit last Saturday’s Alumni panel that he moderated, featuring Jim Nill, Tom Gaglardi, Angela James, Joe Nieuwendyk and Brett Hull. We will also discuss Jamie Benn being nominated for the 2025-26 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy by the Dallas chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. We will crown the winner of our 2026 DLLS Diehard Only March Madness Bracket Challenge and update the standings of our DLLS Diehard Only NCAA Frozen Four Bracket Challenge. If we have any time left after all that, we’ll look at the daily chaos of the battle for NHL playoff spots in both conferences.
