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

A controversial major penalty assessed to Islanders forward Casey Cizikas led to two Dallas Stars power-play goals in New York's 4-3 loss on Sunday.

Duclair's goal midway through the third pulled Isles within 4-3, but Pageau's apparent tying goal was waved off for goalie interference.

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.

ELMONT, N. Y. -- Jason Robertson scored a hat trick in the span of 8:40 in the second period, and the Dallas Stars held off the New York Islanders for a 4-3 win at UBS Arena on Sunday. The hat trick was Robertson’s first of the season and fourth in the NHL.

Jason Robertson completed a hat trick within nine minutes of the second period Sunday night for the surging Dallas Stars, who knocked off the New York Islanders 4-3 in Elmont, N.Y.

But that may be just the case after defenseman Lian Bichsel left Sunday night’s game vs. the New York Islanders with an injury. Bichsel suffered what looked to be a head injury after Islanders center Casey Cizikas delivered a blow to the Stars' 20-year-old mid-way through the second period.
