Dallas, will look to pull ahead 3-1 and take a commanding lead on the road for Game 5 on Thursday night.
The Stars are expected to have Miro Heiskanen back in the fold for the first time since he suffered a major knee injury in January. Whether or not Dallas head coach Peter DeBoer opts to change up just his defence pairings or attempt an 11/7 forward/defence split will remain up in the air.
The Jets are not expected to make any lineup changes in advance of Game 4. Connor Hellebuyck will start in goal opposite Jake Oettinger. Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM central time. The game can be viewed live on Sportsnet and CBC.
