Mikko Rantanen’s hat trick beat Boston, then his two assists helped Dallas beat Winnipeg. If you’re backing the Stars against Columbus, you don’t have to choose between those contributions: his one-point prop allows either a goal or an assist. That’s the scoring option in these Stars parlay picks, alongside a Jason Robertson shot target and a Kent Johnson assist under.
For a hypothetical Dallas win, Rantanen offers a scoring contribution, Robertson needs two shots without having to convert them, and Johnson can score himself without breaking the assist under. Compare those different asks and their prices before choosing which, if any, fit your view of the game.

Mikko Rantanen — 1+ point (−235)
Rantanen has found more than one way onto the scoresheet in Dallas wins. Against Boston, his three goals came in 22:12. Against Winnipeg, he had two assists in 20:09 with just one shot on goal. Asking for a point lets either sort of night do the job.
The one-point target has cleared in all seven Stars wins this season and nine of his thirteen appearances overall. That winning-game pattern also has a longer foundation with Dallas: the table’s 42 of 48 wins is stronger than his overall record, rather than simply a high number of games regardless of the result.
Two points is available at +190, but it has a very different record. It reached 19 of those 48 Dallas wins and 28 of 83 appearances overall, compared with 42 wins and 62 appearances for one. The wins at Colorado and Chicago this month each brought exactly one Rantanen assist; the Islanders win brought one goal. Moving up would have lost all three of those contributions.
His latest game is useful context in the other direction: two assists in 23:04 didn’t stop Dallas losing 5–2 to Montreal. A Rantanen point and a Stars win remain separate things to ask for. Dallas has also won without his scoring. In April’s 4–3 win over Buffalo, he had no points in 18:33, including 4:19 on the power play. Neither time on the ice nor a winning team guarantees the point.
His average ice time is close to last season’s, at roughly 20:35 now versus 20:23 before. He’s expected on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Sam Steel, with Matt Duchene still listed on injured reserve.
Jason Robertson — 2+ shots on goal (−650)
Robertson’s shooting offers a different way to involve Dallas. He put three shots on net in the latest loss to New Jersey and four in the loss to Montreal, despite recording no points in either game. If you’d rather ask for activity than a goal or assist, those games show the distinction.
Two shots is the expensive choice at −650; three is available at −225. The lower target cleared thirteen more Dallas wins in the longer record: 54 of 59, compared with 41 of 59 for three shots. Across all his appearances, the comparison is 92 of 101 against 68 of 101. The two-shot record is strong across both wins and losses, so this case rests on a routinely attainable target, rather than a big lift when Dallas wins.
Recently, he’s done more than two. His last five totals are three, four, three, three and four, and both offers have cleared all seven Dallas wins this season. The full history is why the lower one still deserves consideration; the recent run alone doesn’t show what you’re paying to avoid.
The April Buffalo win supplies a reminder that the cushion has limits. Robertson finished with one shot in 17:26, including 4:16 on the power play. That same Dallas victory also left Rantanen without a point, so the two Stars options can fail together even when the team wins. Robertson’s average ice time this season is about 20:07, close to last season’s 20:28, and he’s expected alongside Roope Hintz and Tyler Seguin. The role supports considering shots, while the price asks whether the extra room is worth the small payout.
Kent Johnson — under 0.5 assists (−240)
Johnson scored in Columbus’s latest 3–2 loss at Carolina, yet finished without an assist. That’s exactly the distinction behind this under: a Blue Jackets goal from Johnson doesn’t spoil it. He also scored without an assist in losses to Utah, St. Louis and Florida this season.
His point under is lighter at −135, but it needs him to avoid both a goal and an assist. In the longer Columbus record, that happened in 34 of 44 losses and 61 of 87 appearances overall. The assist under kept five more losing appearances and nine more overall. You’re paying the heavier −240 price to leave Johnson’s own goals out of the requirement, rather than assuming Columbus won’t score.
The recent passing is the challenge. He had two assists against Vegas and another against Philadelphia before the Carolina game. Both were Columbus wins, so they don’t change his six-for-six assist-under record in this season’s losses. They do belong in the overall picture: he has gone without an assist in eight of eleven appearances this season, and he’s still capable of setting up goals.
His workload has also grown. Johnson is averaging about 17:31 this season, compared with 13:14 last season, and played 20:47 at Carolina. He’s expected on the first line with Adam Fantilli and Valeri Nichushkin. That is more opportunity than much of the older record reflects, and a real reason to temper the appeal of the 39-of-44 loss record.
A loss hasn’t always kept him from an assist, either. In January’s 4–1 defeat to Ottawa, he recorded one in 17:56 with 3:48 on the power play. The under is an option if you expect Dallas to win while Johnson’s contribution comes through shooting or goals; it doesn’t require treating him as a passenger in Columbus’s offense.
Which contribution fits your Stars win?
Rantanen’s point is the direct scoring route, with room for either finishing or passing. Robertson asks less of the scoresheet, but the step down from three shots to two carries a substantial price. The distinction is whether you want the lighter price or the extra shooting cushion, rather than which record looks best in isolation.
Johnson gives you an opposing-player option that still allows him to score. His increased minutes and recent assists are the tradeoff to weigh before adding it. You can choose a single route; if you combine related options, use the sportsbook’s actual quote instead of multiplying the individual odds or hit rates.
