It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 41 games this season, Robertson has netted 24 goals with 24 assists and a plus-15 rating for the Stars who sit tied for the second most points in the NHL. <\/p>\n<p>He is on pace to set a career high in goals with 48.<\/p>\n<p>The Arcadia, Calif., native, was also left off the United States&#8217; 4 Nations Face-Off roster that ultimately fell to Canada in the finals during an overtime thriller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that this year was different from last year. Obviously last year, I didn\u2019t think I was good enough. Now, I think I did,&#8221; Robertson continued. &#8220;It\u2019s their choice and their decision, and that&#8217;s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robertson has posted 192 goals and 250 assists for a plus-110 rating since he was drafted 39th overall by the Stars in 2017. <\/p>\n<p>He inked a four-year, $31 million contract as a restricted free agent Oct. 6, 2022 to stay in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just strive to be the best at whatever I can be. It so happened that this year was the Olympic year, and that&#8217;s not gonna stop me from doing that the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Stars forward, who finds himself sitting tied for eighth in the NHL&#8217;s scoring race, surprisingly was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-390058","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
