Dallas Stars rally for fifth straight win over Columbus, 5-3

Evgenii Dadonov scored two crucial third-period goals to propel the Dallas Stars to a 5-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, marking their fifth consecutive win. The Stars, who had a strong start with six unanswered shots, fell behind three times during the game but managed to equalize each time before Dadonov secured the win with a late goal. Mason Marchment, Logan Stankoven, and Wyatt Johnston also contributed goals for Dallas, while Cole Sillinger, Adam Fantilli, and Ivan Provorov found the net for Columbus. The Blue Jackets lost their leading goal scorer, Kirill Marchenko, due to an injury sustained on the bench. Dallas has now improved to a record of 15-4-1 since December 23 and has recorded 20 home wins, tying for the league's best. This game highlights the Stars' resilience and ability to overcome deficits, further solidifying their position in the standings.
