Key Storylines
Recent form
Dallas enters this game on a strong run. Over their last 10 games, they are 8‑0‑2 and they have won three games in a row. Their offense has been humming, averaging 3.4 goals per game on the season. On the other side, Winnipeg has been inconsistent. Over their last 10 games, they are 3-6-1 and they have fallen out of the top five in the Central Division as a result of their recent struggles.
Goaltending
Winnipeg is expected to be without their usual starter Connor Hellebuyck between the pipes, which raises questions about their ability to withstand the Stars’ attack. The Jets have given up five goals in two of their last four games. Dallas has benefited from the stability of Jake Oettinger in net. His presence should give them confidence on the road heading into hostile territory.
Key skaters
For Dallas, Mikko Rantanen is a driving force offensively. He’s been producing consistently with multiple points over recent games, and he leads the Stars in assists with 26. Jason Robertson leads the Stars with 18 goals for the year. On the Jets side, Kyle Connor remains their offensive catalyst with a team-high 15 goals for the year. The question is whether Winnipeg’s supporting cast and defense can give him enough help to overcome the Stars’ balanced attack.
