Game Highlights


Mason Marchment's performance was pivotal for the Stars, contributing significantly with one goal that helped shift the momentum in favor of Dallas. His shooting accuracy and ability to capitalize on opportunities were evident as he managed to score from one of his four shots on goal. Thomas Harley also stood out with two assists and a plus-minus rating of +1, playing a crucial role in both defense and offense for his team.


On defense, Jake Oettinger's goaltending was exceptional for Dallas. Oettinger saved 26 out of 27 shots faced from Winnipeg, maintaining a perfect save percentage throughout most of the game until an empty net goal by Winnipeg in the final period slightly marred his otherwise flawless performance.

Looking Ahead


The Stars showcased resilience and strategic gameplay against Winnipeg Jets' aggressive tactics. Despite being outshot 31 to 27 by Dallas and facing five power-play opportunities against them, Winnipeg managed only one goal thanks to Dallas' solid defensive play and effective penalty killing.
