Sam Steel’s score early in the third period was the winning goal for the Stars, who have won four consecutive games. Jamie Benn, Mavrik Bourque and Justin Hryckowian also scored for Dallas.

Robertson gave Dallas a 1-0 lead late in the first period with his 23rd goal, tied for third in the league. Oettinger is tied for the most goaltender wins in the NHL and earned his first assist this season on Bourque's empty-net goal. Dennis Hildeby stopped 16 shots for the Leafs, with No. 1 goalie Joseph Woll playing Saturday night in the 5-3 loss at Nashville. Oettinger thwarted Toronto’s best early scoring chance midway through the first period after Auston Matthews poked the puck away from Thomas Harley just inside the Stars’ blue line and skated in alone.
