It wasn't pretty — but it was decisive. This episode covers: Robertson's statement game and contract-year dominance Dallas capitalizing on every Anaheim mistake Why this game was weird without ever being close Depth scoring all over the lineup Casey DeSmith doing exactly what a great backup does The dangerous Frank Vatrano incident and why it crossed the line The Stars keep stacking wins, manage minutes smartly, and stay right in the Central Division race.
