Fresh off their four-game home stand, proud owners of a five-game point streak, the Dallas Stars tested their mettle against the Jets this afternoon in Winnipeg. This game is the first of a three-game road trip.
The Jets currently occupy the second place in the Central Division and had quite the run heading into the Christmas break. Since then, they’ve had one win in the last four games, which came against the Edmonton Oilers on New Year’s Eve.
First Period
The first period remained scoreless, but that’s mostly thanks to the heroic efforts of Ben Bishop and had little to do with the play of anyone else on the Stars roster.
