Winnipeg sits sixth in the Central Division and nine points out of a wildcard spot with a 5-3-2 record in their last 10 games played.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Stars News &amp; Notes:<\/p>\n<p>Dallas aims to knock Winnipeg off their winning block tonight to leap Minnesota in the Central Division standings. Dallas is on a four-game win streak, and they\u2019ll look to maintain that tonight at home over Winnipeg. Dallas is third in the Central Division and 6-4-0 in their last 10 games played.<\/p>\n<p>Winnipeg Jets Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Connor \u2013 Scheifele \u2013 Nyquist<br \/>Perfetti \u2013 Lowry \u2013 Vilardi<br \/>Niederreiter \u2013 Toews- Namestnikov<br \/>Koepke \u2013 Barron \u2013 Iafallo<\/p>\n<p>Morrissey \u2013 DeMelo<br \/>Samberg \u2013 Salomonsson<br \/>Stanley \u2013 Schenn<\/p>\n<p>Hellebuyck<br \/>Comrie<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Stars Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Hryckowian \u2013 Johnston \u2013 Rantanen<br \/>Robertson \u2013 Hintz \u2013 Bourque<br \/>Steel \u2013 Duchene \u2013 Benn<br \/>Back \u2013 Faksa \u2013 Erne<\/p>\n<p>Lindell \u2013 Heiskanen<br \/>Harley \u2013 Lundkvist<br \/>Capobianco \u2013 Petrovic<\/p>\n<p>Oettinger<br \/>DeSmith<\/p>\n<p>Players To Watch:<\/p>\n<p>Winnipeg Jets<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Connor is a player I feel I haven\u2019t spotlighted a ton in these player-to-watch sections. You can\u2019t ask more from the player who\u2019s elevated his game to where he is now, and he\u2019ll look to contribute to Winnipeg beating a Central Division opponent tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Connor Hellebuyck has been a rock for the Jets since his career began, and tonight is another game on his resume to show that he\u2019s Winnipeg\u2019s top netminder. If he performs big tonight against Dallas, Winnipeg could ride that momentum into the Olympic break, which is also a much-needed rest for some of the players on their team.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Stars<\/p>\n<p>Mikko Rantanen has been an A+ player for the Dallas Stars this season, and he\u2019ll look to be the driving factor in Dallas knocking the Jets off their block tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Roope Hintz looks to contribute to yet another Dallas Stars win tonight as the Stars will rely on him to gain a key victory in their Central Division standings push.<\/p>\n<p>Next game<\/p>\n<p>Winnipeg Jets \u2013 February 4 vs Montreal Canadiens<br \/>Dallas Stars \u2013 February 4 vs St. Louis Blues<\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from Inside The Rink<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/cjack\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/e50dfbea4641d046ef8e16e2e54ca52abea6c285162ff2d320dc3eb277ca8c8d.png\"  class=\"avatar avatar-75 photo\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/cjack\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Conrad Jack<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Conrad Jack is a Manitoba-based media credentialed sportswriter covering the Winnipeg Jets (NHL) and the Manitoba Moose (AHL).
