Skinner made 35 saves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was outstanding,\u201d Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said of Skinner. \u201cI thought he did a fantastic job \u2026 we gave up two 5-on-6 goals and an overtime goal. We did a lot of better things than the St. Louis game (2-1 loss at the Blues on Tuesday), just still some things we got to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnston gave Dallas a 1-0 lead at 1:17 of the second period.

So I was able to get it,\u201d Vilardi said.<\/p>\n<p>Connor gave Winnipeg a 2-1 lead less than two minutes later at 12:38. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/neal-pionk-8480145\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Neal Pionk<\/a> intercepted a pass from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/nils-lundkvist-8480878\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nils Lundkvist<\/a>\u00a0in the Stars\u2019 defensive zone and passed it to Connor in the circle, and he sent a one-timer into the top corner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood hockey game, but our guys played pretty hard,\u201d Gulutzan said. \u201cWe were pretty good all night. Just got a little sloppy in the second.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Skinner: \u201cIt&#8217;s tough to lose that point. Those were big points. It&#8217;s tough to lose that way, especially like, we felt we had it in the bag going into the 6-on-5, and then they obviously make a couple sweet plays and make us pay. But that&#8217;s a good team over there. I thought we battled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NOTES: Robertson recorded his 500th NHL point with an assist on Johnston\u2019s goal.
