CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Jason Robertson, Evgenii Dadonov, and Mason Marchment scored in Dallas' three-goal second period and the Stars held on to beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist, and Roope Hintz had two assists as Dallas won its second straight and improved to 6-1-1 this season. Jake Oettinger had a season-high 43 saves - including 21 in the third period - to improve to 5-0-1.

MacKenzie Weegar had a goal and an assist, and Connor Zary and Andrew Mangiapane also scored for the Flames, who have lost six straight - all in regulation - and eight of nine. Calgary's streak without a point is its longest since a seven-game stretch March 16-29, 2018.
