The Winnipeg Jets will battle the Dallas Stars in a do-or-die Game 5 from Canada Life Centre on Thursday.
After falling behind 1-0, the Jets battled back to split the first two games at home.
Things once again did not go well for Winnipeg on the road, as the team dropped both contests in Dallas, and now trail the Stars 3-1 in the Central Division Final.
In need of a win to keep the season alive, the Jets will return to a familiar lineup for Game 5, as the reshuffling of players from Game 4 did not seem to provide any added spark.
The Presidents’ Trophy-winning club will look to rediscover its offence in hopes of forcing a Game 6 on the road this Saturday.
Puck drop from Winnipeg is set for 8:52 PM central time on Thursday. The game can be viewed live on Sportsnet and CBC.
