Connor Hellebuyck's struggles continued as the Winnipeg Jets fell to the Dallas Stars 5-2, putting them down 2-1 in their playoff series. A pivotal moment came in the third period when a peculiar own-goal by Hellebuyck shifted momentum in favor of the Stars. Despite being a Vezina and Hart Trophy nominee, Hellebuyck's road performance this postseason has been lackluster, marked by a .772 save percentage and a 6.65 goals-against average over four losses. With the Jets yet to win away from home in the playoffs, they face mounting pressure to even the series in Game 4.

The Jets started strong, with Kyle Connor scoring early, but the Stars responded powerfully, with Roope Hintz and Thomas Harley putting them ahead. The Stars demonstrated a full-team effort, with Dallas coach Pete DeBoer praising the depth of his lineup. The Jets will look to regroup at home as they aim to break their road curse.
