As the Central Division Final shifts venues for the first time, the Dallas Stars look to grab a win on home ice and take the lead in their series against the Winnipeg Jets.
The Jets and Stars had a couple of exciting games in Winnipeg. Dallas managed to draw first blood with a hard-fought 3-2 win in Game 1. However, Winnipeg answered back in a big way with a 4-0 win on Friday night. In that game, Connor Hellebuyck came away with a 21-save shutout, briefly quieting the naysayers with a solid performance.

Nikolaj Ehlers had his best game fo the playoffs, scoring two goals and an assist, with Adam Lowry and Gabriel Vilardi also found the back of the net.
Now, the Jets, who had not lost on home ice before this series, have to try and do something they have not done in this postseason – win on the road. Against the St. Louis Blues, Winnipeg lost all three away contests.
