DALLAS - Rookie Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist in the first period and the Dallas Stars beat Detroit 5-2 on Tuesday night to sweep back-to-back games against the Red Wings and extend their winning streak to four games. Valtteri Filppula and Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings (16-25-7), who are 0-2-1 following a season-long three-game winning streak. “We haven’t given up any grade-A’s comparative to the rest of the league, like the big-time grade-A’s, and tonight I thought we were terrible defensively,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. About 80 seconds later, Filppula got the Red Wings on the board with a wrist shot to the stick side. … The Stars have won four straight for the first time since opening the season with four consecutive home wins, two of those also against the Red Wings.
