Wrapping up a tough five-game road trip with a chance to finish it with a winning record, Ken Hitchcock's Dallas Stars (7-5-0) take on Paul Maurice's Winnipeg Jets (6-3-2) on Thursday night. Game time at Bell MTS Place is 7:00 p.m. CDT. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Southwest.
The Stars enter this game coming off a 2-1 overtime win in Vancouver on Monday.
The game was scoreless until 3:11 of the second period. With the Stars on the power play, Tyler Seguin parked himself in the left circle and ripped a laser beam of a one-timer high to the long side off a feed from Alexander Radulov. Jamie Benn got the secondary assist.
Radulov scored on a 2-on-1 rush in overtime to provide the Dallas Stars with a 2-1 road win over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night. The Russian forward's 4th goal of the season ended a thrilling, back-and-forth OT with several prime scoring chances for both teams.
Ben Bishop came up with multiple crucial saves for the Stars -- and also got a bit of help from his goal posts a couple times -- in earning the win. Overall, Bishop stopped 38 of 39 Canucks' shots.
Dallas has now won back-to-back games after earning a 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames last Friday. Winnipeg enters this game coming off a 2-1 win against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. Kyle Conner (2nd goal of the season) and Nikolaj Ehlers (7th goal) tallied for the Jets, while Connor Hellebuyck turned back 28 of 29 shots to earn the win.
After this game, the Stars return home to host the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.
