Controversial goal helps give Stars victory, 2-1 series lead

DALLAS -- Mikko Rantanen had a goal and two assists, including one on the tiebreaking goal off defenseman Alexander Petrovic's skate that was finally confirmed after a lengthy review as the Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Sunday to take 2-1 lead in the second-round Western Conference series.

Officials looked at Petrovic's goal for well over five minutes after the NHL's situation room initiated a video review to determine if he kicked the puck into the net for a 3-2 lead with 16:09 left. The final decision was that replays supported the referee's on-ice call that goalie Connor Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his own net.
