WINNIPEG -The Stars' five-game team-building foray through seven cities ended in disappointment Thursday.
But there was a silver lining.
Dallas (7-6-0) lost a 5-2 game and finished 2-3-0 on the trip. They also drop to 1-4-0 in the Central Division and fall behind the Jets (7-3-2) in the standings. But, they showed a lot of heart and battle after a rough start - and that's sort of what this road trip is all about.
Winnipeg dominated early play, drawing two power plays and scoring twice against the Stars' heretofore impenetrable penalty kill. The offensively loaded Jets, who typically run the score up against Dallas at Bell MTS Centre, were doing just that as they a had a 3-0 lead just 15:16 into the game.
