The Winnipeg Jets are battling for their playoff lives tonight against a surging Dallas Stars team in a crucial Central Division matchup. The Jets have picked up points in 10 of their last 14 games, staying quietly in the hunt as the regular season winds down. Both squads see this as a must-win, with Dallas chasing second place and home ice against Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Stars have flipped their season around, winning five of their last six games after a long slump. They've already beaten Winnipeg twice this year in tight one-goal road wins, and now the final two meetings shift to Texas.
What are the playoff implications of the Jets vs Stars matchup?
Winnipeg would have loved facing this Dallas team a few weeks ago. The Jets have lost 10 of their last 17 games, but most have been razor close, with 13 decided by one goal. Their defense remains solid, holding foes to three goals a game, but offense is the killer at just 2.88 goals per outing lately. The top line of Mark Shifley, Kyle Connor, and Gabe Velarde carries too much load. On the star side, all three forward lines are clicking during their hot streak, outscoring opponents 20-14. Veteran Matt Duchesne has five goals in his last four games after shaking a concussion, while Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston are on fire, too. Winnipeg's depth needs to step up, or Dallas pulls away fast. In net, Jets goalie Connor Hellebook owns a strong career mark against Dallas at 14 wins, 11 losses, and 5 ties with a 2.5.
How have the Winnipeg Jets performed recently?
Three goals against average. Stars netminder Jake O. Ettinger is 20-10-4 overall, dominating Winnipeg at 7 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie. Expect a battle tune-in for this showdown.
