Off, it was not, at UBS Arena on Sunday night. Instead, it was a regular — well maybe not-so-regular — old Islanders defeat that felt downright quaint after what we saw the last

Hintz logged two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

NEW YORK — Jason Robertson’s third career hat trick lifted the Dallas Stars past the New York Islanders 4-3 on Sunday night for their third straight victory. With Robertson’s second-period hat trick he became the first player to score three goals in a period since Jamie Benn on Apr. 7, 2018.

The New York Islanders (25-24-7) lost their third straight game as the Dallas Stars (37-18-2) utilized a Casey Cizikas major penalty to storm past New York in the second period.
