NHL expert praises Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson for stepping up in Jamie Benn's absence

The Dallas Stars were on the verge of being swept in the Western Conference final by the Vegas Golden Knights. After three back-to-back losses, the Dallas Stars responded with grit and resilience, winning the next two games to take the series 3-2.

The Dallas Stars' incredible comeback was fueled by key contributions from forward Jason Robertson on offense and Mark Oettinger, who has been successful on the goal line in keeping the puck away from the Stars' net.

Martin Biron, a hockey analyst, recently joined SC host Jay Onrait on TSN to discuss what went in favor of the Stars in the last two games. According to Biron, the contribution of Jason Robertson and Jake Oettinger was the main reason Dallas are still alive in the Western Conference final.

Martin Biron spoke on TSN about Jason Robertson stepping up and delivering the best performance in the absence of Jamie Benn.

"Well, obviously without Jamie Benn some guys had to step up right and they needed to create a more offensive play with a little bit more edge. Go to the middle of the ice go to the front of the net, and Jason Robertson has been able to do that the last couple of games in the first three games at five-on-five he only had two shot attempts from the slot." - Martin Biron

"Two in three games in the last two games that five on five is that M shot attempts from this slide. He goes to the front and's been able to do it on the powerplay, but now he can do it at five-on-five."
