Petrovic, who spent a large portion of the season in the AHL, scored the game-winning goal against the Jets to help give the Stars a 2-1 series lead. The goal needed a lengthy replay review before being ruled official, but it counted nevertheless.

Connor Hellebuyck is starting to again look like the goalie that was so dominant in the regular season for Winnipeg.

The Dallas Stars take on the Winnipeg Jets in Game 2 of their best-of-7 series in the Western Conference semifinals Friday at Canada Life Centre.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.

The Dallas Stars left American Airlines Center on Sunday with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and a two-games-to-one lead in their second-round playoff series. During the second period, Stars forward Mason Marchment drove toward the Winnipeg net with what looked like a pretty solid scoring chance in front of him.

With the clock ticking toward the deadline on March 7, first-year Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky made the most of the situation and dealt Rantanen to the Stars, who then signed him to an eight-year, $96 million extension.
