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.

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.
