DALLAS (AP) — Defenseman Miro Heiskanen had a goal and two assists, and Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist as the Dallas Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 3-1 on Saturday to clinch the Central Division title for the first time in eight years.
Craig Smith also scored for the Stars, who remain in contention for both the top seed in the Western Conference and the Presidents’ Trophy with one game to play in the regular season.
Heiskanen scored Dallas’ final goal on a wrap-around with 7:37 left to play for his fourth game of at least three points this season.
“It’s great to win (the division), but we’re far from done,” Heiskanen said. “It’s just the first step.”
Stars coach Pete DeBoer agreed but added, “You definitely can’t minimize the work put in to doing that … in a really good division.”
The Stars’ other goals came late in periods. Smith with 2.5 seconds left in the first period on a tip-in redirection and Robertson with 35.9 left in the second, coming on a 5-on-3 power play.
