Jason Robertson scored in regulation for Dallas, who moved within two points of Colorado in the Central Division.
Oettinger made a shootout save on Valeri Nichushkin, and Martin Necas fired a shot over the crossbar before Johnston beat Scott Wedgewood on the Stars’ third attempt. Nathan MacKinnon had a chance to extend the shootout but was wide on his try.
The Avalanche’s Cale Makar scored in regulation and Wedgewood had 17 saves through overtime before stopping two attempts in the shootout. Colorado have lost three straight (0-2-1) to tighten the race with Dallas for the top seed in the Western Conference and in the league overall.
Sean Walker's goal with 28.3 seconds left in overtime gave Carolina a 6-5 victory against Pittsburgh in Raleigh, North Carolina.
