The Stars opened the scoring early as Mason Marchment notched his fourth goal 1:09 into the opening frame. Kreider tied it before the halfway mark of the first and it was all Rangers from there.
Trocheck broke the tie less than a minute into the second, notching his third of the season on the power play. But the Stars knotted it up again when Hintz scored his third just 29 seconds later.
The Rangers capitalized on the man-advantage later in the second, this time with Zibanejad tallying his fifth goal. But Robertson got Dallas even again with his fourth goal with 1:14 remaining in the second.
Jones scored the go-ahead tally, his first of the season, with 8:42 left in the third and Gauthier followed with his first goal of the season just 19 seconds later. Trocheck completed the scoring with 6:35 left.
The score was tied at 2 in the second when Dallas goalkeeper Jake Oettinger exited with a lower-body injury. Oettinger gave up two goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood, who allowed four goals on 17 shots.
Robertson added an assist and was the lone Dallas player with multi-point day.
