Rally-happy Stars double up Lightning, 4-2Matt Duchene and Roope Hintz netted third-period goals less than a minute apart and the Dallas Stars rallied twice to beat the host Tampa Ba...
Roope Hintz - On pace for another 30-goal yearHintz scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
ImpactIt was a beauty goal. Hintz skated through the neutral zone with speed, blew past Erik Cernak, and wired the puck blocker side past Andrei Vasilevskiy on a breakaway. He has three points, including two goals, in his last two games. Hintz may have only 13 points in 19 games this season, but his eight goals put him on pace for his fourth consecutive 30-goal campaign.

Matt Duchene - Sniping ways continueDuchene scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
ImpactDuchene took a return pass from Tyler Seguin on a rush and roofed the puck over Andrei Vasilevskiy from below the right circle. The goal stood as the game winner. The crash is coming -- Duchene has just 33 shots, but he's scored 11 times (33.3 percent). His career average is 13.5 percent over 1,075 games. And he has 22 points in 19 games. You may want to test the trade waters for Duchene now.

Miro Heiskanen - Gets goal, but game still quietHeiskanen scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
ImpactHeiskanen beat Andrei Vasilevskiy glove side with a wrist shot from the left circle after taking a cross-ice pass from Matt Duchene. He had two shots and three blocks. Heiskanen has been a fantasy anchor this season -- the goal is his seventh point (three goals, four assists) in 19 games this season. Last season, he had 54 points, with 73 the year before. Things should tick up for Heiskanen, but his managers may need to bench him for a bit until he finds his offense again.

Jake Oettinger - Fifth straight winOettinger made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
ImpactBoth goals that got past him were second-chance rebounds that his defensemen were beaten to by Anthony Cirelli. The win was Oettinger's fifth consecutive victory, and he's now 11-3-0 this season. Those 11 wins are second only to Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck as tops in the NHL. Oettinger carries a heavy workload in Dallas, but Casey DeSmith is an above-average backup who wins. Watch for the Stars to consider some load management for Oettinger later in the season, so he's ready for the postseason. But not right now -- he's as hot as they come.
