Jason Robertson did not finish the game with a goal. He finished it with the feed that saved Dallas a point.
Robertson's shot from the slot became Tyler Seguin's tip-in at 19:30 of the third period, tying the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-1 with 29.1 seconds left in regulation before a 2-1 shootout loss Saturday at PPG Paints Arena. ESPN's box credits Robertson with the primary assist, three shots and a plus-1 in 21:36 of ice time. Miro Heiskanen picked up the secondary helper.
Neither team scored through two periods. Connor Dewar opened the scoring at 1:57 of the third, ending Jake Oettinger's career-long 188:52 shutout streak. Dallas kept working the puck into traffic, and when Robertson got a shot through late, Seguin was waiting at the crease.
Volume without the finish, then the shootout
Robertson was one of Dallas' most active forwards all night. He generated looks in the second and third, including a sequence of consecutive wrist shots early in the third that Silovs handled. In the shootout, Robertson went first for Dallas and was stopped; Seguin and Wyatt Johnston later scored before Rickard Rakell sealed it for Pittsburgh.
Seguin, who had gone without a goal since Nov. 15, 2025, called the equalizer a relief after his ACL recovery timeline, telling NHL.com he feels a little more comfortable each game. The Associated Press and NHL.com both framed Robertson's shot as the catalyst for the tip that forced overtime.
Arturs Silovs finished with 24 saves for the Penguins (3-2-1), who snapped a three-game skid. Oettinger stopped 19 of 20 for Dallas (2-2-1).
