Jets Seek Fifth Straight Win at Stars

Winnipeg visits Dallas on Thursday seeking a fifth straight win after ending a nine-game winless stretch with a four-game run that included a dramatic comeback and Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over New Jersey. Dawson Mercer and Kyle Connor each scored twice, and Nico Daws made 19 saves; the Jets have credited improved defense and growing confidence for their turnaround. Dallas is 3-0-1 in its last four games and returns from several days’ rest after a 4-3 win over San Jose in which it scored three power-play goals. The Stars won the teams’ first meeting this season 3-2 in overtime and have beaten Winnipeg six straight times.
