Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson sent a clear message about his team's capabilities heading into the NHL playoffs following a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.

During his media duties after the game, Robertson, 26, made clear that despite the bad stretches, the team knows what it is capable of, with the playoffs in mind. "I think we just know what our team's capable of, right? Throughout the whole season, regardless of the stretches, the bad ones or the good ones, we know what we have," Robertson said .

"We know guys can step up. And then they did tonight, so we're gonna keep building up until the playoffs. And yeah, this one feels good.

" Stars face Rangers, Maple Leafs, Sabres to close regular season The Stars trailed on the scoreboard in the first period but managed to turn things around and claim the victory, despite the injury to Miro Heiskanen, who left the game after taking a hit from a Wild winger.

Dallas still has three regular-season games remaining -- against the New York Rangers on Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, April 13, and the Buffalo Sabers on Wednesday, April 15.
