The Jets would win the game in overtime, sending them to the next round. They will now be taking on the Dallas Stars, setting up what could be the best series of the second round.

The Jets won three of four contests against the Stars during the regular season, but they have had some issues in the playoffs. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck has struggled at different times in the postseason so far, so if they want to take down Dallas, he will need to drastically step up.
