Connor Hellebuyck made 22 saves and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Dallas Stars, 4-0, on Thursday night to force a sixth game in the Western Conference semifinal series.

With Edmonton awaiting the winner in the conference final, the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Jets avoided elimination to send the series back to Dallas for Game 6 on Saturday night.

While the Stars still have two opportunities to clinch the series, they may be better served to take care of business at home rather than risk another flight back to Canada for their second Game 7 of the postseason.

Here’s what to know ahead of Game 6 at American Airlines Center:
