Dallas Stars vs. Winnipeg Jets preview
The Dallas Stars look to tighten their grip on the Western Conference semifinal series as they host the Winnipeg Jets for Game 4 at American Airlines Center, holding a 2-1 lead after a convincing 5-goal performance in Game 3.
The Stars' offensive firepower has been on full display throughout the series with Mikko Rantanen, Sam Steel, and Roope Hintz combining for five goals and seven assists, while goaltender Jake Oettinger has been solid between the pipes, stopping 73 of 80 shots faced.
Winnipeg's offense has shown flashes of brilliance, notching eight goals in the series with the trio of Nino Niederreiter, Gabriel Vilardi, and Nikolaj Ehlers leading the charge, but their defensive unit has struggled to contain Dallas's attack.
The Jets will lean heavily on Connor Hellebuyck to bounce back after a disappointing showing in Game 3, though the veteran netminder's .918 career save percentage suggests he's more than capable of stealing a road win.
Special teams could prove decisive with Winnipeg converting at an impressive 28.9% on the power play during the regular season, while Dallas has already capitalized on the man advantage in this series.
With both teams capable of lighting up the scoreboard, Tuesday's clash shapes up as a potential high-scoring affair that could swing momentum in this increasingly intense playoff matchup.
