Matchup Breakdown
Winnipeg Jets Outlook
The Jets have dropped 11 of their last 16, including a 6-2 loss to Edmonton. Kyle Connor has urged teammates to step up as leaders, but the absence of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck remains a major hurdle. Winnipeg ranks near the bottom of the league in both goals scored and goals allowed, underscoring its struggles at both ends of the ice.
Dallas Stars Outlook
Dallas has surged to second overall in the NHL with 45 points, riding an 8-0-2 stretch. Mikko Rantanen has been a catalyst with 11 points in his last six games, while the Stars rank third in goals scored. Coach Glen Gulutzan emphasized the need to sharpen offensive execution despite the team’s success. Injuries to defensemen Thomas Harley and Ilya Lyubushkin are worth monitoring, but Dallas’ depth has carried them through.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
Dallas’ balanced scoring and defensive structure against Winnipeg’s depleted lineup is the key storyline. The Jets must find offense beyond Connor and limit defensive breakdowns, while Dallas looks to continue its disciplined play and capitalize on Winnipeg’s struggles in net.
