Jason Robertson and Nils Lundqvist scored for Dallas, and Joe Pavelski had two assists. Scott Wedgewood made 25 saves in the Stars’ second loss in three games after winning four of five.
In the extra period, Mathew Barzal found Horvat behind the Stars’ defence and Horvat converted a forehand-backhand manoeuvre to give the Islanders their third win in 11 games (3-6-2).
