Miro Heiskanen returned from a 42-game absence, helping the Dallas Stars secure a 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, taking a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference playoffs. Mikael Granlund scored his first career playoff hat trick, including a key goal that broke a 1-1 tie, while goalie Jake Oettinger made 31 saves. The Jets, who have struggled on the road, saw Nikolaj Ehlers score, but their playoff woes continued as they lost their fifth consecutive road game.
