Both the Dallas Stars and the Winnipeg Jets came into the game tonight tied in points, both having won the last two games, both three points out of a playoff spot.
Something had to give for one of these teams.
Unfortunately for Stars fans, it was us.
First period
Well, it was a high scoring first period, though it had a slower start than the Stars have been used to recently. Winnipeg’s first goal came a little under seven minutes into the game on a 3-on-2 breakaway. Bryan Little scored the goal around a back checking Patrick Eaves on a feed from Nicolaj Ehlers and Patrik Laine.
