Dallas Stars snapped their 4-game skid with a solid 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Miko Rantanon made a strong comeback after missing 15 games with a lower body injury, picking

up a goal, and an assist right away.

The Stars exploded for 4 goals in the second period to flip the script and take control

at PPG Paints Arena.

Rantanon got her back on February 20th while playing for Team Finland in the Olympic

Semifinals against Canada.

His return lit a fire, especially with Jason Robertson adding a goal and assist, and

Movert Borkay sealing it with two empty netters, plus an assist.

Jamie Ben dished two helpers too, while Jake Oettinger stopped nine shots in net.

Meanwhile, the penguins were banged up without Sydney Crosby and Evgini Malkin, both day-to-day

with injuries.

Eric Carlson shone with a goal, and two assists in his second straight 3-point night and

Steward Skinner made 20 saves.

But Pittsburgh dropped three of their last four, struggling to keep pace.

The games stayed tight early, with Pittsburgh jumping ahead on powerplay tips and shots.

Then Dallas answered back with three quick strikes in just over four minutes, including

powerplay snipes from Robertson and Rantanon, plus Leanne, Fischel's one-timer, to make

it 4-2.

Dallas held firm in the third, shrugging off a late penguin's powerplay goal before

Bork iced it twice into the empty net.

This win boosts Dallas to 44 wins, 18 losses, and 11 ties, keeping their momentum rolling

strong.
