After a feeling-out process for each team, Columbus took a 1-0 lead at the 7:16 mark of the opening period on Roslovic's goal, which came on the Jackets' first shot on goal of the game.
The tally completed a pretty transition move, as Roslovic took possession of the puck at the CBJ blue line, skated through the neutral zone and fed Mikhail Grigorenko. From there, Grigorneko hit the trailing Michael Del Zotto, who feigned a shot and found Roslovic at the right post, and he had the simple task of just redirecting the puck past Jake Oettinger for the goal.
Dallas' best chance to tie the score came with about four minutes left in the period, as Jason Dickinson's shot deflected off the stick of Seth Jones and fluttered behind Elvis Merzlikins, only to hit the post and deflect aside harmlessly.
Columbus had a great chance to double the lead midway through the second period as a spinning Eric Robinson found Alexandre Texier wide open in front of the net, but Oettinger made the stop on his shot.
That was Columbus' best chance of the second, but Dallas led the way in quantity with 19 shots on goal to the Jackets' five in the period, and eventually the dam broke as the Stars scored twice in the last three-plus minutes to take the lead.
First, Denis Gurianov tied things up at 1 with just 3:18 to go. Just off the bench, Dickinson fed Gurianov alone at the net front, but while Merzlikins denied his first try on a tip, Gurianov recollected the puck and slipped it by the CBJ goalie.
Then with 1:59 left in the period, Miro Heiskanen scored his third goal of the year vs. Columbus to end a long shift in the CBJ zone. Jamie Oleksiak fed him the puck as Heiskanen cut in from the right point, and the Dallas defenseman cut around Oliver Bjorkstrand into the slot and fired a shot that went off the shoulder of Merzlikins and went in to make it 2-1.
Merzlikins made a great save with the right pad on Radek Faksa from right in front after a bouncing puck found its way to the stick of the Stars forward. But he couldn't stop the Stars from making it 3-1 at the 8:16 mark of the third, as Gurianov fished a loose puck out of the left corner after Esa Lindell's shot hit the back boards and threw the puck toward the net, where it went off of the shin pad of Del Zotto and into the net.
Joe Pavelski finished the scoring by making it 4-1 with 4:52 to go. Dallas completed a long shift in the zone with Roope Hintz passing it across the crease to the open Pavelski, who flipped the puck over Merzlikins for his team-best 17th goal of the year and his fifth tally of the season vs. Columbus.
