Jason Robertson, Wyatt Johnston spearhead confident Dallas Stars into season's final regular-season game against Detroit Red Wings

Dallas Stars key players Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston will look to keep their stellar play going as the team welcomes the Detroit Red Wings in the final stretch of the regular season on Monday, April 14, at American Airlines Centre. The Stars, sitting with 50 wins and a playoff position secured, are using these last games as much as an exhibition as a crucial audition for depth players seeking postseason roster spots.

The Dallas Stars host the Detroit Red Wings for the second and final time this season, aiming to keep their one-sided winning streak going over the Red Wings. Dallas beat them 4-1 the last time out and has an eight-game winning streak over the Red Wings dating back to April 2021.
With a playoff berth already secured and a date with the Colorado Avalanche waiting, the Dallas Stars are not in any way coasting. Monday night's contest against the Detroit Red Wings is a chance for young stars like Wyatt Johnston and old gridders like Brendan Smith and Alexander Petrovic to score key last impression points going into the playoffs.


Forward Wyatt Johnston continues to astound us as he reaches new heights. Wyatt Johnston, with 32 goals and 70 points on the season so far, became the first Stars player in franchise history to reach the milestone point total of 70 when he was 21 or younger. He has also played solidly against Detroit, including a highlight-reel three-point effort earlier in the season.
Statistically, Dallas dominates the head-to-head against Detroit. The Stars have taken the last three season series and are 122-112-38 overall versus the Red Wings. The Stars, however, have been outshot in 13 straight games—allowing 36.1 shots on average a night—a league high in that span.

Though Monday's game won't affect standings, it is very important to individual players and the Stars' playoff situation. Whether momentum is building or one is showing their readiness for the playoffs, every shift counts. The Dallas Stars will look to keep their winning streak going and have all hands on deck as they enter the playoffs.
